Location

Lindenhurst is a station on the Babylon Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is officially located at Wellwood Avenue (Suffolk CR 3) and East Hoffman Avenue (Suffolk CR 12) in Lindenhurst, New York.

Lindenhurst station is typical of the elevated Babylon Branch stations that were rebuilt during the mid-to-late 20th Century. It was originally built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island on October 28, 1867, as "Wellwood" It was renamed "Breslau" in 1870, after developers Thomas Welwood and Charles S. Schleier renamed the community after their native Breslau in German Empire, then was renamed "Lindenhurst" in 1891.^[3] The station burned down suspiciously on January 22, 1901.^[4] The second station was built in 1902.

This station was replaced with a temporary station with high-level platforms on October 25, 1968, when construction of the current elevated station was started. The current elevated station was opened on August 7, 1973, and was renovated in the early 2000s, along with much of the rest of the Babylon line. The 1902 station was moved to a private location and restored as a museum in 1971.^[5][6] In 2023, the MTA agreed to make the Amityville, Copiague and Lindenhurst stations wheelchair-accessible to settle a lawsuit.^[7] An elevator at the Lindenhurst station opened on June 28th, 2024.^[8][9]

The station has one 10-car-long high-level island platform between the two tracks.
