The three dozen Long Island Rail Road workers implicated in the MTA inspector general’s employee ID card cloning investigation include some of the LIRR’s highest overtime earners — and most of them still work for the railroad, data compiled by Newsday shows.

Twelve of the 36 accused workers have resigned or retired, and one was terminated following a disciplinary trial. The rest remain on the LIRR’s payroll, having accepted unpaid suspensions and other punishments, or awaiting the resolution of pending disciplinary procedures.

Anthony Simon, who heads the union representing most of the accused workers, has said they "accepted responsibility for their actions and have faced the appropriate disciplinary measures.” The union representing some of the accused foremen, the Independent Railway Supervisors Association, has not responded to several requests for comment.
