Speaking to a meeting of the Long Island Association Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said $5.6 billion in upgrades will transform the Long Island Rail Road and help make up for decades of neglect. The work will involve laying 10 miles of new track to ease congestion along the busiest part of the rail road, along with the replacement of 20 miles of aging track. Stations will be renovated, parking will be added and signal switches and other equipment will be upgraded. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)

More Long Island Rail Road schedule changes will take effect Tuesday as the rail road continues to make adjustments after the opening of Grand Central Madison earlier this year.
A morning express train will run directly from Oyster Bay to Jamaica.
Other revisions across the LIRR system include adding express trains to Jamaica from Hicksville, restoring some Brooklyn trains on several branches, and rerouting some current Grand Central trains to Penn Station.
