 The branch has the lowest ridership of any on the Long Island Rail Road.Subsequently, the branch is one of the LIRR lines most vulnerable to closure, and has been threatened with abandonment in recent years.From September 2010 until November 22, 2014, the line had no weekend service due to budgetary constraints, (except for St. Albans, which has always had passenger services since Babylon Branch trains stop there on weekends).
