Albertson (LIRR station)

Albertson is a station along the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. The station is on the north side of I.U. Willets Road Albertson Avenue and the Clark Botanic Garden in Albertson, New York. However the parking lot is on the south side of I.U. Willets Road.

The station was originally opened with name Albertson's and originally opened as a milk station in March 1874 and opened as a flag stop in June 1875 by the Glen Cove Branch Rail Road. The station was renamed as Albertson in 1903. The station had a depot building built in 1911, and it lasted until 1954, when it was razed. In 1960, the LIRR planned to close the station as well as East Williston station and replace them both with a single station between the two sites. However public opposition to the proposal cancelled those plans. Between the Fall of 1997 and the Fall of 1998, high level concrete platforms were built with ramps.

Platforms and tracks

The station has two slightly offset high-level side platforms, each four cars long. The west platform, next to Track 1, is generally used by southbound or New York City-bound trains. The east platform, next to Track 2, is generally used by northbound or Oyster Bay-bound trains. The Oyster Bay Branch has two tracks here.
