Thank goodness I wasn’t involved in this accident or the resulting train delays. According to the news reports the incident happened at 5:51 PM as was in downtown Flushing at that time. The news reported that Penn Station was jammed as Long Island commuters had to find another way home. There were three alternatives:
- Take the #7 to 61st Street Woodside and get the LIRR there
- Take the E train to Jamaica and get the LIRR there
- Take the Subway to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up the LIRR
