North Roslyn is a former railroad station on the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, located within the present-day Village of Roslyn Harbor in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States.

History

[edit]

The station was originally opened in 1898 as Wheatley Hills and was renamed as North Roslyn in 1901.[1][2] The station closed on March 16, 1924. A very limited amount of information is known about the former station.[3]

The North Roslyn station was located in what is now the Village of Roslyn Harbor, at the former intersection of the North Hempstead Turnpike (NY 25A) and Motts Cove Road South; this is currently the site of the entrance to the Nassau County Museum of Art.[3][4]
