Even with reduced speeds the press and public would be bitching about 2 hour late trains to/from Montauk. Plus if trees were down bwtween stations nwo what? Sorry, but train crews do not cut trees into pieces to get them off the roadbed.

Another case in point: last year in a snowstorm a train left Port Jervis late one night, IIRC had downed trees before Otisville, tried to come back to Port Jervis but had more trees down and was now isolated. Weren't they out all night and rescued by a local volunteer fire unit eventually.

Also, LIRR riders are not as well behaved as our riders to the north.
