While the train reaches Ronkonkoma by Ocean Ave, at 11:30pm, 1am, 2:29am, and 3am, there are horn blowing happy conductors that seem to get a kick out of blowing the horn constantly! We understand that you need to do this for safety sometimes , however at these hours when people are sleeping, is it really necessary to continuously to do this? 10 times in a row? Its that really unnecessary? Does the LIRR and its conductors not have any consideration? Its extremely obnoxious and has ruined our way of life here. Everyone in awhile there is a conductor that only blows the horn 2 or 3 times. This must be one of the few considerate ones. Is there anything that can be done about this? I feel like they do this on purpose seriously I have to move out of this place because of this. They wake me up and my kids every night !
I can’t take it anymore And to be honest the sound of these Horns are very loud. Not the same horn that the passenger trains used during the day so I assume it might be the freight trains...

Perfect location and you feel like your living in your own little village : ) We are here for a little while in between homes and I have two little ones. I feel completely comfortable coming in and out of the building at night with the two kids. Apartment itself has an awesome kitchen, big bathroom and WALK IN CLOSET : ) Dorothy and Megan who work in the office, have been amazing to work with. We worked with Megan when we first moved in and she always got back to us with questions RIGHT AWAY! Beautiful facilities and my son LOVES hanging out in the lounge in our building for a change of scenery. People in our building are VERY nice. Love it here and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to live or rent for a...
Read moreLost and found process is TERRIBLE. Even if it has been 10 minutes after you left the train, LIRR will file a ticket and ask you to wait at least a week to hear back AND they only call you if they actually find it. You don’t get a call otherwise. How hard is it to radio your crew to let them know about the lost item.
Also you cannot check the status of your ticket — that’s the answer you get if you call them. There is no assurance at all that the crew checks the train after each full ride. I took the train from Penn Station to Ronkonkoma and the rep on the phone couldn’t give me a straight answer on whether trains are inspected after each ride. Disappointing and frustrating.
Triple check behind you when you leave the train so you don’t have to deal with this...
