Hollis (LIRR station)

Hollis is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line at the intersection of 193rd Street and Woodhull Avenue in Hollis, Queens, New York City, United States. Except for one AM peak Penn Station-bound train from East Williston on the Oyster Bay Branch, only trains to/from the Hempstead Branch stop here.

The station was originally built as East Jamaica in May 1885 and renamed Hollis in September of the same year. It was rebuilt as part of a grade elimination project in 1915. The station house was destroyed by arson on November 2, 1967 and a new one was built in the early 1990s.

This station has two high-level side platforms, each four cars long, and made of wood. The north platform, next to Track 3, is generally used by westbound or New York City-bound trains. The south platform, next to Track 4, is generally used by eastbound trains.

The station's only entrance is a pedestrian tunnel under the platforms and tracks that has a staircase to each platform and leads to 193rd Street and 99th Avenue on its south end and the dead-end of 193rd Street on its north end. Along the north platform is a pedestrian roadway that leads to 191st Street on its west end and Sagamore Avenue on its east end.

The Main Line has four tracks here. The two middle tracks, not next to either platform, are used by through trains. A fifth track south of the south platform leads to the east end of the Hillside Facility.

Usage examples of "hollis".

She was his mother and Sioned and Andrade and Hollis and Brenlis and even Alasen.

Just thinking about Hollis brought a smile to his lips—and that this attitude was slightly adolescent bothered him not at all.

It was an older version of Hollis that he saw, her tawny hair sleekly braided around her head and bound with a thin silver circlet set with a single ruby, marking her as Lady of Radzyn Keep.

But nothing more was said and neither Maarken nor Hollis had been punished.

But he was only nineteen, Hollis was two years older, and there was time.

Andrade had recalled Hollis to the keep with the understanding that the young woman would be part of her suite at Waes.

If she wished him to marry Hollis, it was not for reasons of their love, although she would have no objections to their being happy.

Stables, pasture, gardens, a sandy beach below the cliffs, a comfortable and cozy home—all of it would be his, and he would bring Hollis here before the stormy season began.

He liked Hollis and approved of his brother’s choice—the two of them were certain to produce not just handsome, intelligent children but faradhi-gifted ones as well.

Andry wished Sorin had already met Hollis so they could compare notes and work out some sort of strategy for supporting their elder brother in his aims.

Andry and Hollis were among the last to walk down the high-ceilinged passage, and as they went by a window embrasure they saw four boys and two girls huddled together, listening wide-eyed as a Sunrunner instructed them in making their obeisances to Lady Andrade.

His gaze shifted to Hollis with the appraising, approving expression of a male who knows his own attractions and how to use them.

A glance at Hollis told him that she, too, looked only at the boy, who moved with an easy assurance worthy of a lord’s son.

Maarken dreamed a little of the time when he would give Hollis a cloak carrying that symbol.

In the very personal matter of Hollis, Maarken knew he could count on his uncle’s quiet support, and that was a help.
