The LIRR was created in 1834. It has never stopped operating since then. In the 1870s it was consolidated with the other railroads on Long Island. It is the oldest U.S. railroad that still has its original name.[2] The LIRR has 124 stations and more than 700 miles (1,100 km) of railroad tracks,[3] The LIRR has a total of 319 miles (513 km) of train routes.[4]
It is owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The LIRR is one of two commuter rail systems owned by the MTA. The MTA also runs the Metro-North Railroad to New York's Hudson Valley and to Connecticut.
