Farmingdale is a historic railroad station in Farmingdale, New York, along the Main Line (Ronkonkoma Branch) of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located just east of Secatogue Avenue, on South Front Street and Atlantic Avenue. The station has two platforms (north and south), with an underground pedestrian walkway connecting them. The depot is on the south platform. Parking is available on both sides of the tracks. The station is {{convert|32|mi|km}} east of Penn Station and just 0.3 miles (0.5 km) west of the Nassau County - Suffolk County boundary. As of March 2, 2015, some trains originate and terminate here on both weekdays and weekends.[2] The average commute to and from New York City's Penn Station is roughly 55 minutes.

History

Farmingdale station was originally built on October 15, 1841,[3] when the Long Island Rail Road first went through the village. It was rebuilt in July 1875 and again in 1890. An electric sub-station was added between 1908 and 1909 for the Huntington Railroad.[4] During the Ronkonkoma electrification, the station was officially in electrified service in June 1987, while east of the station was not officially in service until December 1987. On November 13, 1991, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5] In 1996, federal funding from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act was obtained to restore the station building.[6]

During the 2002 US Open[7] and 2009 US Open golf tournaments at Bethpage State Park, the station was used by spectators as a transfer point to shuttle buses to Bethpage Black Course.[8] In 2009, approximately 29 percent of all attendees arrived via the Long Island Rail Road.[9]

Station layout

This station has two high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long. Some trains terminate or originate here in order to add capacity along the remainder of the double-tracked branch.

Parking

Parking is available on both sides of the tracks, and requires either a permit from the Village of Farmingdale for either residents or non-residents, or payment for parking meters. Metered parking costs $3.00 for the 12 hour period of 4 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday, and accept only quarters—no partial credit for amounts under $3.00 is registered by the meter. Parking is free at Farmingdale station on weekends, as the meters are only in effect Monday through Friday.[10] Another parking lot exists west of the station along Front Street, and behind private property along the west side of Elizabeth Street, and can also be accessed from Cornelia Street. Village of Farmingdale residential and non-residential permits are required for this parking lot as well.
