The MTA Long Island Rail Road will be replacing wooden ties on the Ronkonkoma Branch between Farmingdale and Ronkonkoma beginning May 14. The work will be completed in three phases to minimize customer impact. Buses will replace midday trains as work progresses through the three phases over the summer. When completed by the end of the summer, the work will help ensure greater service reliability and a smoother, more comfortable ride for customers.

Phase One – May 14 through June 22: In the first phase of the work, from May 14 through June 22, midday busing will replace trains between Brentwood and Ronkonkoma stations. Six eastbound and six westbound trains will originate and terminate at Brentwood station.

Phase Two – June 25 through July 20: The second phase of the work, from June 25 through July 20, requires the use of single track between Deer Park and Brentwood during the midday. As a result, six midday westbound Ronkonkoma trains are adjusted to depart Ronkonkoma at 9:41 AM, 10:41 AM, 11:41 AM, 12:41 PM, 1:41 PM and 2:41 PM.

Phase Three – July 23 through Aug. 10: In the final phase, between July 23 and August 10, buses will replace midday train service between Hicksville and Ronkonkoma. All Ronkonkoma Branch midday trains will terminate and originate at Farmingdale.
Customers traveling east of Ronkonkoma will have express bus service between Hicksville and their home station, since the trains operating between Ronkonkoma and Greenport will run on their normal schedules.

The United States Postal Service will hold its 20th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 12, a one-day event in which letter carriers collect non-perishable food items from residents.

The drive is sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers. In 19 years, more than 1 billion pounds of food have been collected. Last year, 1.9 million pounds of food were donated by New Jersey residents.

To donate, people can leave non-perishable food items in bags at their mailboxes and mail carriers will collect them. The food will then be donated to local pantries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that approximately 50 million people go hungry in the United States.

This year, the Post Office is partnering with television host Nick Cannon, Campbell Soup, National Rural Letter Carriers Association, Valpak, United Way, Feeding America, AFL-CIO, Uncle Bob’s Self-Storage, and AARP. The day will be dedicated to “Family Circus” cartoonist, Bil Keane who died last year.
