Amtrak said it would resume service along the Northeast Corridor, between Washington and Boston, on Friday, but it said trains between Albany and New York City would remain canceled.

New Jersey Transit said all train lines except Pascack Valley and Raritan Valley would operate on a regular weekday schedule on Friday, with the Main-Bergen County Line temporarily suspended for a pedestrian fatality near Garfield unrelated to the storm. Bus service was running on a weekday schedule, but with some delays and detours.

The Long Island Rail Road resumed full service by Friday, with some disruptions spilling into the morning. On the Metro-North Railroad, train service resumed Friday morning for the New Haven Line and the Harlem Line after workers cleared more than 10 inches of water and debris from several stations. The Hudson Line, which suffered the most damage, remained suspended.

“Our crews have made extraordinary progress over the last 24 hours in extremely difficult conditions,” Catherine Rinaldi, president of Metro-North, said in a statement Thursday night. “I cannot thank our crew members enough for the heroic work they have been doing and will continue to do.”
