MIDTOWN — Get ready for a hellish commute Tuesday morning, officials warned.
Multiple rail services expected extensive delays and other disruptions the morning after a NJ Transit train derailed in Penn Station and injured five people, they said.
Meanwhile, by 7:40 a.m., every subway line was experiencing delays except the G and the L (but don't worry, that might return to its normal delays again soon too). Buses and other drivers were also dealing with flooding due to Monday night's heavy rain, according to the MTA.
MTA officials canceled 10 LIRR morning rush trains, diverted four to Jamaica and one to Hunterspoint Avenue, they said.
But even those trains that are running normally in and out of Penn will probably see delays and crowding, MTA officials warned.

Amtrak, which owns and operates the rails at Penn Station, warned that riders to and from Penn Station could see up to hour-long delays during the rush and 30 minutes during the non-rush period.
They're running trains on a modified schedule on the Northeast Regional, Empire and Keystone services because several tracks in the transit hub were closed, they said.
"Amtrak, which owns the tracks, is working as quickly and safely as possible to restore regularly scheduled operations. Amtrak's top priority is the safety of our passengers, employees and the traveling public," Amtrak officials said Monday night.
NJ Transit said it would be running "on or close to" a holiday schedule with fares cross-honored on other commuter services like PATH and New York Water Ways.
NEC/NJCL rail service is operating on or close to schedule. On Tues. April 4th, NEC/NJCL trains will operate on a holiday schedule.
