NEW YORK (WABC) – In this edition of Overtime Eyewitness News, we break down the changes to Long Island’s new rail system.
This comes about 72 hours after full access debuted on the east side of the new station at Grand Central Madison.
Overcrowded trains and schedule confusion were a recipe for quick reactions from New York commuters.
On Thursday, New York Gov. Cathy Hatchul assured commuters that needed updates would come just as quickly.
