Numerous LIRR Trains Canceled Monday After Derailment

Eight Long Island Rail Road trains have been canceled or partially canceled during the morning rush on Monday, the LIRR said Sunday night.

The reason: a non-passenger trained derailed at the West Side Yard in Manhattan on Saturday evening. An MTA employee reported back pain after the derailment, which involved two cars in the middle of the train, according to a CBS 2 story. No other injuries were reported.

Crews have been working to repair damage to the tracks, but it's unclear why the LIRR waited until Sunday night to warn of possible impacts to the Monday commute.
