The delays are being partly attributed to what is being affectionately called 'The Summer of Hell,' due to Amtrak's massive repair project at Penn Station, which is now in its second week.
The incident marked a low-point in a day riddled with transportation delays that hobbled transportation services for most of the day.
Problems first began when an empty train derailed at the Long Beach yard early Tuesday morning, crippling service for hours.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman Joe Lhota said that no one was injured in the incident but that it service had been suspended for about an hour. Limited service then began every half hour between Island Park and Jamaica.
Buses were also offered to commuters who were traveling between Long Beach and Island Park in both directions as an alternative.
Experts say that aging technology and overcrowding are contributing heavily to delays
A NBC News 4 chopper later showed crews surrounding two of the train cars, which appeared crossed over the track.
Lhota said a crane was being brought in to help remove the train, at which point the MTA could assess possible damage.
Then later in the day, as the evening rush was winding down, separate signal problems east of the Jamaica station caused widespread delays across LIRR.
According to the LIRR website, delays on Tuesday averaged about 20 to 30 minutes across the board, while normal service resumed by late evening.
At Jamaica Station, the eye of the transit storm, the man in white apparently had enough after he was shut out of the last 7.00pm Oyster Bay in attempt to make a transfer, according to a NBC News 4 reporter who captured the exchange.
Experts say that riders are experiencing more and more delays due to a number of different factors, including increasing numbers of commuters and aging technology struggling to keep up with higher quantities of travelers.
