Main & Oak is a former Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station located in Rochester, New York. The line was near a connection to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Oak Street Loop. It was closed in 1956 along with the rest of the line. [2]

The Broad Street Tunnel Project rehabilitated some sections and the subway tunnel where this station had been located, between Main Street and Brown Street, was filled in. [3] The new west portal to the tunnel is just west of this station along Broad Street.
