8:40AM EST: Commuters should expect delays and cancellations on the Long Island Rail Road Monday morning following a derailment in Queens.
LIRR says its crews are working overnight to try to repair damage to switches and track caused by the derailment, but work will not be completed in time for the Monday morning rush hour.
The derailment happened shortly after noon Sunday on a Huntington-bound train just west of the Jamaica stop. No one was injured, and the cause is under investigation.
LIRR says 12 westbound trains will be canceled Monday morning. There will be residual delays and not all scheduled connections will be available.
LIRR personnel will be available at Jamaica to assist customers with service information.
