Oyster Bay (Long Island Railroad Oyster Bay Branches)

Home<New York Area<Long Island Rail Road<Oyster Bay

Oyster Bay is the terminal of the branch up from the main line do north to this very rich and afluent community along the Long Island Sound. There is no sign of a downtown of any type near the station, the entire area seems to be parkland along the Long Island Sound. The station itself is a single generic side platform although there are two tracks for the line in this area, these continue for a bit beyond the station and can probably be used for laying trains up. There is no sign of an older station building anywhere that was used before the 1990s when all the low-level platforms had to be made high level because of the introduction of the C3s that can only stop at high level stations.
