They were stranded with crews in some cases for six to seven hours. The railroad workforce has been out working to try to dig out the switches and try to dig the trains out. But its a very big system and a lot of trains were out there running for a long time during the height of the storm, as the storm was really cranking. Lirr far more severe than first believed.
