New York & Atlantic Railway
   

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING HURRICANE SANDY RECOVERY WORK

NYA is committed to helping our communities clean up and rebuild. To speed up the process, the Long Island Railroad has given NYA permission to move more heavily loaded railcars (up to 286,000 pounds of lumber, brick, gypsum wallboard and cement in each railcar) on their system.

All NYA operations are up and running.

Contact NYA customer service at (718) 497-3023, or visit our customer service page for more information.

New York & Atlantic Railway began operation in May 1997 of the privatized concession to operate freight trains on the lines owned by Long Island Rail Road. The railway serves a diverse customer base and shares track with the densest passenger system in the United States. Its innovative labor agreements permit efficient operations.
