» 11 Transit Workers Charged in $1 BILLION Pension Scam ..

Former Long Island Rail Road workers who lied about being disabled rode a “train of lies’’ to golden retirements in an audacious, $1 billion pension scam, the feds said yesterday.

Eleven suspects were charged: six retired workers, two orthopedists and three so-called “facilitators’’ — a former union official, an ex-federal railroad administrator and a doctor’s-office manager.

More arrests are likely down the line, authorities said.

“Employees, in many cases after claiming to be too disabled to stand, sit, walk or climb steps, retired to lives of regular golf, tennis, biking and aerobics,’’ said Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara.
