Wyandanch Station and Second Track Expansion Enhance Customer Service

摘要

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) recently completed two significant Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) projects: Construction of a new, 3,000-sq-ft train station at Wyandanch to accommodate increased ridership and completion of the $431-million Double Track Project between Ronkonkoma and Farmingdale that will improve service reliability. LIRR is the busiest commuter train system in the country. Ridership on the Ronkonkoma Branch, of which Wyandanch is a part, has doubled over the past 25 years. The Wyandanch train station services more than 4,000 passengers daily and was developed in conjunction with the public-private Wyandanch Rising program that is transforming the downtown area.
