There’s a new subway line in town – the H.

The MTA today announced it's running a free rail service for residents of the Rockaways stranded without a subway since Sandy struck on Oct. 30.

The new line — a throwback of the old Rockaway shuttle, which was dubbed the “H” train — opens tomorrow at 4 am.

Shuttle Service ScheduleA free subway shuttle service has started operating on the Rockaway Peninsula to assist straphangers who normally use the A train, where tracks from Howard Beach to the Rockways were almost completely destroyed by Sandy.   

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says that while work continues on the damaged tracks, the new H train shuttle service will help improve travel for residents of the Rockaways.   

Sandy Slows Deliveries, Cripples Supply Chains

Sandy Slows Deliveries, Cripples Supply Chains

Companies from Amazon to railroad firm CSX are warning customers to expect delays on shipments as Hurricane Sandy continues to back up supply chains and slow deliveries leading into the holiday season.

CSX told its customers to expect delays of at least 72 hours as trains in the Northeast continue operating slowly because of power outages.

Carrier delays would likely slow Amazon orders, the online shopping giant posted, and Better World Books said there may be a delay of five to 10 business days on orders shipped to the eastern United States, the Ohio Valley, Canada and western Europe.

The two join a host of other retailers such as Diane von Furstenberg that have told customers that closed shipping facilities, slowed transportation and massive power outage will mean longer waits on deliveries, the New York Times reports.

At REI’s SoHo store in New York, employees wearing headlamps and carrying flashlights led customers around in the dark after losing power on Oct. 29. Even after the power was restored Nov. 2, employees had to manually count and order merchandise, according to the Times.
