NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- The MTA said Thursday they do not expect Metro-North service to be restored on lines east of the Hudson River before Friday.
The transit authority said Ida's impact has left lines with significant track washouts, fallen trees, mudslides and damaged power and signal equipment that are harming their tracks and rights of way.
That affects all trains on the Harlem, Hudson and New Haven lines.
On the railroad's social media accounts, it told users that trains operating on Friday were "a possibility but not a guarantee."
On the Long Island Rail Road, most branches were back to regular service by Thursday afternoon. Only the Port Washington branch was still dealing with some Ida-related troubles.
The railroad, though, said eastbound trains would skip the Woodside, Forest hills and Kew Gardens stops Thursday evening as storm damage repairs were made.
Issues on New York City's subways were still massively prevalent as of Thursday's rush hour. Some lines were operating on a limited basis, while others were not able to go to certain stations. The latest in delays and service issues can be found here.
