The Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council wants an investigation of Monday's derailment, saying it "is extremely concerned with the increase that has been seen in serious track incidents and derailments throughout the MTA system over the past eight months.
"While we are grateful that there were no injuries from last night’s LIRR derailment in Amtrak’s East River Tunnels, the resulting “Monday madness” at Penn Station was only the latest in a string of service disruptions."
