Roslyn station

Roslyn is a station along the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located at Lincoln Avenue and Railroad Avenue, west of Roslyn Road in Roslyn, New York.

Roslyn station opened on January 23, 1865 by the Glen Cove Branch Rail Road, a Long Island Rail Road subsidiary. In 1882, the LIRR attempted to extend the former Flushing and North Side Railroad main line between Great Neck and Roslyn stations. This proposal which dates back to an F&NS subsidiary called the "Roslyn and Huntington Railroad" failed, and instead that line was extended to Port Washington in 1898. In the meantime, Roslyn station was moved in 1885 in order to accommodate a new freight station, and the station was rebuilt from June to July 1887. In 1988, Roslyn Station was moved to the west side of Lincoln Avenue, and was restored to its 19th-century origins in recent years. Free parking is available on the west side of the station.
