The person, who was not authorized to be on the tracks, was hit about 10:30 p.m. near the Wyandanch station, leading to a service suspension in both directions between Farmingdale and Ronkonkoma, the LIRR said.
Service was restored shortly before 1 a.m. No further details were immediately available.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority police are investigating, officials said.
