Forest Hills is on the LIRR Main Line into Penn Station, which is 4 tracks, lots of trains bypass the station and trains that stop run hourly or less. The station has two side platforms which are short, so only the first 4 Cars platform and doors open. The station is located on a viaduct, and has a retro historic ook. It is the only LIRR station that has no 'normal' looking LIRR signs, with the station name and a blue stripe above it, instead all name plates are small, say Forest Hills and have a turquoise border. all exit signs are also in this format.
