NEW YORK (AP) - The Long Island Rail Road says it is adding eight trains to the Wednesday evening schedule.
The announcement comes after the railroad operated on a limited weekend schedule for the morning commute.
That was necessary because of a snowstorm Tuesday that dumped up to a foot of snow in the region.

The railroad says it plans to resume regular weekday service on Thursday.
Because of the severe cold temperatures, LIRR station waiting rooms will remain open around-the-clock through Friday afternoon.
