MTA: Service Restored on West Hempstead LIRR Branch After Train Fire

Service is back on the West Hempstead branch of the LIRR — but the real fire is the one Albany keeps fueling with corruption, neglect, and bloated transit budgets.

Another day, another MTA failure patched over with zero accountability.
While New Yorkers deal with delays, breakdowns, and safety risks, the political class keeps raising tolls and cashing checks.

We deserve a transit system that works, not one that burns through billions and delivers chaos.
