@shorelineeast Infrequent and with dirty, old DIESEL locomotives, not the shiny new M8 cars shown in your post.

They warned you… $peed Cost$

[Connecticut Department of Transportation @CTDOTOfficial]

Starting on 6/1, #speedcameras will be active in work zones across CT, with drivers receiving a warning in the mail if they speed. In July, warnings and citations will be issued, as part of our efforts to reduce work zone speeding, crashes, and fatalities: https://t.co/IPTL8FVI9V

The LIRR unions say they have a deal. Services will be resumed asap. MTA comments to come.

Monday LIRR Strike: haven’t heard any horror stories from LI commuters. Roads looked jammed.

My friend at BPT-PTJ ferry say they did not see any jump in ridership from LI this morning.

What have you heard?

[CT Rail Commuters @CTRailCommuters]

Watch the LIRR strike closely: https://t.co/ReYcxcEVZw

[CT Rail Commuters @CTRailCommuters]

@DanburyBranch @aarmlovi Wrong solution. The problem isn’t lack of wire. It’s lack of will in management. They signed a deal with those penalties.

[CT Rail Commuters @CTRailCommuters]

@DanburyBranch @zedsamcat The question is: if the pay is so high why aren’t young people signing up? Long years of training? Crazy work hours? Or in seniority getting all the OT?

[CT Rail Commuters @CTRailCommuters]

@SteveFainer Needs polishing.

[CT Rail Commuters @CTRailCommuters]

We are watching this story closely. The deal w LIRR unions means MNRR unions will want even more. Fare$ ?? https://t.co/u5n6MwnGYO
