Official group for the Long Island Rail Road

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), founded in 1834, is the oldest U.S. railroad still operating under its original name and charter. It connects New York City with Nassau and Suffolk counties across 11 branches including the Montauk, Babylon, Port Jefferson, Ronkonkoma, and Oyster Bay lines.

Running 24/7 with major terminals like Penn Station, Grand Central Madison, Atlantic Terminal, and Jamaica, the LIRR moves over 200,000 riders on an average weekday—making it the busiest commuter railroad in North America.
