The LIRR is expanding the Ronkonkoma Yard and building a new employee facility in Ronkonkoma: the expanded yard and new employee facility will be known as the LIRR Mid-Suffolk Train Storage Yard. The expansion of the current train storage yard and the construction of a new employee facility are necessary to support the planned increase in rail service with the opening of East Side Access into Grand Central Terminal. The new, expanded yard will provide additional space to store, maintain, inspect, clean, repair and service electric train cars, thus enabling an increase in service on the Ronkonkoma Branch during the AM rush by almost 50 percent. This new yard capacity supports the future service plan for this branch, which includes additional westbound trains starting at Ronkonkoma. The new, expanded Yard will feature 11 additional tracks, each with capacity for a 12-car train set. This project will ultimately make travel between Long Island and New York City more reliable and comfortable for LIRR customers.
