- Source: Westbury station (LIRR)
Westbury is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line. All trains for the Port Jefferson Branch and Ronkonkoma Branch run through it, though only some trains on the Port Jefferson branch stop (and only a few on the Ronkonoma Branch do). It is located at Union and Post Avenues in Westbury, New York. It is 23.4 miles (37.7 km) from Penn Station. The station is fully wheelchair accessible. It has two side platforms and three tracks.
History
Westbury station was built sometime in March 1837 with the opening of the LIRR to Hicksville. The station was closed between June and September of the same year, briefly replaced by the nearby Carle Place station. Throughout much of the mid-19th Century, the J.P. Kelsey Branch Store served as the depot. The second station was built between April and June 1883. The third station was built in 1914, and was electrified in October 1970, along with the rest of the Port Jefferson Branch between Mineola and Huntington Stations. It had a major remodeling around 1972, and another one sometime between 2001 and 2005.
On February 26, 2019, a local eastbound train to Hicksville collided with a truck at the School Street crossing just east of the station as it was accelerating out of the station. A few seconds after that collision, a westbound Ronkonkoma Branch express train headed for Penn Station collided with the already-slammed truck at the crossing and derailed past it, slamming into the eastern end of the westbound platform. The collision caused extensive damage to both the westbound platform (easternmost two car lengths) and M7 train car #7425, killed the three occupants of the truck, and would require a few power poles to be replaced. The crossing was eliminated as part of the Third Track Project between May and November 2020 and replaced with an underpass.
= Post Avenue Bridge replacement
=The station is located next to a bridge over Post Avenue that had an 11-foot-10-inch (3.61 m) clearance that was installed during the 1914 rebuild. The bridge was hit by between five and nine high trucks per year between 2010 and 2016, causing numerous train delays in both directions. In October 2017, the LIRR replaced the old bridge with a new bridge. Despite the fact that the previous bridge was 103 years old, it was still considered to be in good condition. However, the bridge had to be replaced in preparation for the LIRR third track project; the new span had a 14-foot (4.3 m) clearance and a capacity of three tracks.
= Station enhancements
=Also as part of the third track project, the Westbury station was upgraded to accommodate full-length 12-car trains. Platform A was replaced and Platform B was relocated. Canopies, benches, signage, and security cameras were installed. The station, which is already compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, saw further accessibility improvements, namely the installation of new elevators and ramps along with a new overpass. Amenities such as Wi-Fi, USB charging stations, artwork, and digital information displays were included in the renovation. The electrical substation at Westbury station was replaced to accommodate the third track, and a parking garage was installed north of the station. The village of Westbury sought to redevelop the land south of the station.
Station layout
This station has two high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long. During rush hours, trains will stop at both platforms in the peak direction. Most Ronkonkoma Branch trains, some Port Jefferson Branch trains, and all Montauk Branch trains pass through the station without stopping.
