Auburndale is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch in the Auburndale neighborhood of Queens, New York City. The station is part of CityTicket. The station is located at 192nd Street between Station Road and 39th Avenue, three blocks north of Northern Boulevard.

History

The Auburndale station was originally built as an infill station in 1901 – the year the community itself was developed.^[3]^[4] The original station house was sold and converted into an Episcopal Church on 42nd Avenue and Utopia Parkway when a new, elevated station was built between 1929 and 1930, as part of a grade crossing elimination project; this church closed in 1973.^[3]^[4]

By 1997, both Auburndale and the adjacent Murray Hill station had fallen into a state of disrepair.^[5] The station subsequently underwent a significant reconstruction and modernization project between April 2000 and October 2003.^[4]^[6]^[7]^[8] As part of the $5.5 million project, funded in part through monies secured by then-New York State Senator Frank Padavan, included rebuilding the platform and expanding it from six to ten cars in length, new canopies, a new, heated waiting room, and making the station accessible to wheelchair users with the installation of an ADA-accessible elevator.^[6]^[7]^[8] The dilapidated, 1901-built station house was also demolished as part of the project.^[6]

Further accessibility upgrades to the station were executed in the 2020s with the replacement of its elevator – a project which made the station fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.^[9]
