LIRR Riders Warned to Expect Delays for Evening Rush

Long Island Rail Road commuters should expect delays during Wednesday's evening rush.

A third-rail cable fire in one of the East River tunnel tubes earlier in the day is forcing the railroad to cancel or combine eastbound trains.

Westbound service from Jamaica to Penn Station is suspended. Customers can use the E subway train instead.

A Penn Station-bound train got stuck in one of the tubes when the fire broke out. About 100 people were on board, but there were no injuries, officials said.
