UPDATE: LIRR Service Restored in Both Directions
If you are in the city right now, good luck getting home.
UPDATE 7:20 p.m.: The LIRR says service has now been restored in both directions.
Long Island Rail Road service is temporarily suspended in both directions into and out of Penn Station and Atlantic Terminal due to a signal problem at Jamaica Station and an unauthorized person on the tracks being struck by a train, east of Queens Village station, the LIRR says.
NYC Transit is cross-honoring LIRR fares on the E train from Penn Station to Jamaica. The Port Washington Branch service is not affected.
Days like today at penn station remind me of one time when I asked my dad if you get used to it and he responded with laughter

.@Newsday been stuck on the @LIRR for almost an hour. No movement once we got out of tunnel. Haven't made it to Jamaica. Train packed.
