Carle Place
Wikipedia
Carle Place (previously known as Carll Place) is a station along the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). It is served by trains on the Port Jefferson Branch at all times while Ronkonkoma Branch and Montauk Branch trains bypass the station. It is located at Cherry Lane & Atlantic Avenue in Carle Place, New York.
Carle Place was built on March 1, 1837 with the opening of the LIRR to Hicksville. The station was closed sometime in 1859, however it was revived in 1923 as a sheltered shed. In 1950, the station was removed and then relocated 400’ east of the former location, opening on January 21, 1952. The station has existed as a pair of platformed shelters ever since then. In October 1970, an electrification project took place at Carle Place station, along with the rest of the Port Jefferson Branch between Mineola and Huntington Stations.
