Quogue was a railroad station along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, located in Quogue, Suffolk County, New York.
History
[edit]The station was built around June, 1875. During construction the station was moved by the village "on a Sunday morning" from its original and current location to a location on Old Depot Road.[1] The second depot was built around 1882 and later was moved to a private location around 1905. The third depot was built around 1905 and at some point was elevated for the bridge over the former New York State Route 113.[1][2]
The station house was razed around April, 1964 but the station stop itself continued to operate until March 16, 1998.[2] This station, along with nine others around that time were closed due to low ridership, was deemed not cost-effective to rebuild with high-level platforms to support the new C3 railcars the LIRR was procuring at the time.[2]
