Description
The Long Island Railroad (LIRR)is a commuter railroad providing passenger service the length of Long Island into New York City. Publically owned by the Metropolitan Transit Authority, it handles more passengers than any other commuter rail system in the US. It was a profitable company from its founding in 1834 until after World War II, but financial difficulties resulted in, first the State of New York subsidizing the operation and then purchasing it from the Penn Central, which owned the company.
