<p>A Long Island Rail Road train derailment Monday night damaged a stretch of tracks west of the Jamaica station, requiring repairs that are expected to disrupt service for the next several days.</p>
<p>Eleven regularly scheduled LIRR trains were canceled and five were diverted to Brooklyn during the Tuesday morning rush-hour commute while crews work to removed the train and began the track repairs.</p>
<p>“I couldn’t tell you how long this may take, but it will not be over today,” said Aaron Donavan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. He’s hopeful that there will fewer delays and cancellations during the Tuesday evening commute.</p>
<p>Donovan said about 3,700 feet of third rail will have to be replaced along with a stretch of track and about 1,600 concrete ties.</p>
<p>No passengers were aboard the westbound eight-car train destined for Penn Station when the last four cars derailed in Rego Park at about 9 p.m. Monday.</p>
<p>The crew members aboard were not injured. The cause of the derailment is under investigation.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Long Island Rail Road is adding trains for revelers heading to and from New York City and Montauk for the St. Patrick’s Day parades this weekend but is also banning alcohol for the occasion.</p>
<p>For those heading to Manhattan on Saturday, there will be three additional westbound morning trains on the Babylon, Port Washington and Ronkonkoma lines as well as three added eastbound afternoon trains on each line with a fourth extra eastbound train added on the Main Line.</p>
<p>MTA Police will be enforcing the system-wide booze ban from 12:01 a.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Sunday. Anyone found violating the ban will have their beverages confiscated.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buses are replacing Long Island Rail Road trains between Speonk and Montauk from Tuesday though Friday while workers renovate three Hampton Bays bridges as a part of a $22.4 million ongoing project.</p>
<p>The MTA started the project in 2011 to add another 40 years to the life of the Shinnecock Canal Bridge, North Highway Bridge and the Montauk Highway Bridge, all of which were built about a century ago.</p>
<p>The work is expected to impact about 400 daily weekday riders in each direction, who should expect delays and plan for buses to take 40 minutes longer than regularly scheduled trains.</p>
<p>LIRR crews will also use the South Fork service suspension to rebuild railroad crossing on Montauk Highway near Flying Point Road as a part of a planned road widening project.</p>
<p>For more information call 511 of visit <a href="http://www.mta.info/lirr" target="_blank">www.mta.info/lirr</a>.</p>
