With the third rail electrical system still damaged, the LIRR was able to restore shuttle service using diesel trains usually reserved for other branches. Before the service restoration, the LIRR had been providing temporary replacement bus service while the branch's tracks, signals and switches were restored to the point they could carry the diesel trains.
This photo shows a diesel train parked at Long Beach.
