Delays and cancellations are still persisting across multiple Long Island Rail Road branches this morning.

An MTA spokesperson told News 12 that a previously disabled non-passenger train was removed around 7 a.m.

The issue occurred around 9:30 Sunday night, west of Jamaica.

Every line except for the Port Washington line had been affected at its worst point.

Ongoing issues are popping up mainly on the Babylon, Far Rockaway, Hempstead, Long Beach, Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma lines.
