Bellerose station

Bellerose station was originally built in 1898 and rebuilt in the summer of 1909. It was out of service between December 12–15, 1960, and replaced with a third station between 1960 and 1961. Until 1960, the station had a platform on each side of the four-track Main Line, though almost all trains that stopped ran to and from Hempstead. As part of the grade crossing elimination, the junction between the Main Line and Hempstead Branch was moved west of Bellerose. The two lines remain closely parallel to each other, along the same right-of-way, between Jamaica and Floral Park. The platform was placed between the two Hempstead Branch tracks. The project will include making the station wheelchair accessible and updating the station's infrastructure & components. ==Station layout==

The station has one eight-car-long high-level island platform serving the two southern tracks (tracks 2 & 4, north to south). Main Line trains (the Port Jefferson, Oyster Bay, Ronkonkoma, and Montauk Branches) bypass the station using the two northern tracks (tracks 3 & 1, north to south), while Hempstead Branch trains use the two southern tracks. == See also ==
