Pinelawn station

Pinelawn is a railroad station along the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located on Long Island Avenue, just east of the Wellwood Avenue grade crossing in East Farmingdale, New York.

History
The Pinelawn station originally had two different station houses with their own histories. Both were created to serve Pinelawn Cemetery, Wellwood Cemetery, and other cemeteries in the vicinity. The first station opened as a flag stop on the northeast corner of Wellwood Avenue in 1895 as Melville, a name it maintained until 1897. From there it would be named Pinelawn (Melville) and finally Pinelawn in 1899. Long Island Avenue was also shifted slightly south, with the road's old alignment becoming a parking lot for the station with a drop-off area. ==Station layout==
