Long Island Rail Road crews were busy Saturday improving the Pulaski Road crossing in Huntington Station.

 The LIRR said some train service on the Port Jefferson line is reduced to accommodate the work. Some customers will have  to transfer at Hicksville to complete travel.

Workers said repairs would smooth travel. A maintenance machine known as a tamper use hydraulic jacks to "tamp" the ballast, which levels the stone around the ties and pushes it underneath the ties to ensure support.
