All trains for the Port Jefferson Branch and Ronkonkoma Branch run through it, though only some trains on the Port Jefferson branch stop (and only a few on the Ronkonoma Branch do). It is located at Union and Post Avenues in Westbury, New York. It is 23.4 miles (37.7 km) from Penn Station. The station is fully wheelchair accessible. It has two side platforms and two tracks. HistoryWestbury station was built sometime in March 1837 with the opening of the LIRR to Hicksville. The station was closed between June and September of the same year, briefly replaced by the nearby Carle Place station.[2] Throughout much of the mid-19th Century, the J.P. Kelsey Branch Store served as the depot.[3] The second station was built between April and June, 1883. The third station was built in 1914, and was electrified in October 1970, along with the rest of the Port Jefferson Branch between Mineola and Huntington Stations.[4] It had a major remodeling around 1972, and another one sometime between 2001 and 2005.[5] In 2000, a woman was stabbed to death in the underpass beneath the tracks.[6] On February 26, 2019, a westbound Ronkonkoma Branch train headed for Penn Station collided and derailed at a railroad crossing at Westbury after a truck tried to run through the crossing. The collision caused extensive damage to both the platform, and LIRR M7 train car # 7425, killing at least 3.[7] {{clear left}}Post Avenue Bridge replacementThe station is located next to a bridge over Post Avenue that had an {{convert|11|ft|10|in|m|adj=on}} clearance that was installed during the 1914 rebuild. The bridge was hit by between five and nine high trucks per year between 2010 and 2016, causing numerous train delays in both directions. In October 2017, the LIRR replaced the old bridge with a new bridge. Despite the fact that the previous bridge was 103 years old, it was still considered to be in good condition. However, the bridge had to be replaced in preparation for the LIRR third track project; the new span had a {{convert|14|ft|m|adj=on}} clearance and a capacity of three tracks.[8] Station enhancementsAlso as part of the third track project, the Westbury station will be upgraded to accommodate full-length 12-car trains. Both platforms would be replaced, and Platform B will be relocated. Canopies, benches, signage, and security cameras will be installed. The station, which is already compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, would be made more accessible via the installation of elevators and ramps, as well as a new overpass. Amenities such as Wi-Fi, USB charging stations, artwork, and digital information displays would be included in the renovation.[9] The electrical substation at Westbury station will be replaced to make way for the third track,[10] and a parking garage would be installed north of the station.[11] The village of Westbury wants to redevelop the land south of the station.[12]{{clear left}} Station layoutThis station has two high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long.
