Lynbrook is a Long Island Rail Road commuter train station in Lynbrook, New York. The station is located at the intersection of Sunrise Highway and Peninsula Boulevard and is located on the railroad's Montauk Branch and Long Beach Branch lines and is served by Long Beach Branch trains and select weekday Babylon Branch trains.

History

Lynbrook was opened as Pearsall's Corner on October 28, 1867, by the South Side Railroad of Long Island. The name became Pearsall's in April 1875 and later became Lynbrook in 1893. In 1880 the station became the northern terminus of the New York and Long Beach Railroad (NY&LB), a railroad line that was acquired by the LIRR and became the Long Beach Branch in 1904. The "PT Tower" opened alongside the NY&LB, controlled the junction with the Montauk Branch until 1910, when Long Beach Branch tracks were extended to Valley Stream station. The station was rebuilt in 1881, electrified on September 8, 1910, and then remodeled sometime in 1920, only to be razed in 1938 as part of a decades-long grade crossing elimination project along the Montauk and Atlantic branches.^{[ citation needed ]}
