LIRR To Upgrade HQ Built In 1913

Jamaica, NY, January 30, 2012 - The new MTA Chairman and CEO Joe Lhota met with Long Island Rail Road officials and received a guided tour and update of the various facilities in Queens including East Side Access, train operations, customer communications and security.

The exterior of the almost century old headquarters built in 1913 is scheduled for repair work and the 3rd floor is being turned into a 'situation room' to help handle emergencies. The structure was originally built as part of the great grade separation project of a century ago that took all LIRR trains off street level and onto viaducts within New York City.
