Abstract
The modernization of the Long Island Rail Road undertaken by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority provided a major replacement of passenger cars used in electrified service as well as the first major extension of electrified service in more than 40 years. Rehabilitation of electric power supplies, installation of communication equipment, station platform improvements, and track upgrading have been accomplished. Other projects will provide improved access to Manhattan and John F. Kennedy Airport.
