Kings Park is astation on thePort Jefferson Branch of theLong Island Rail Road. It is located at the southwest corner ofSuffolk County Route 14 (Indian Head Road) andNY 25A (Main Street) inKings Park, New York.
Originally known asSt. Johnsland station when it was built by Charles Hallett ofRiverhead for theSmithtown and Port Jefferson Railroad between November and December 1872, it was renamed Kings Park station in June 1891. The Kings Park area was the site of a major derailment on February 16, 1947, but there were no casualties.[2] The station was rebuilt in 1948 with an attached freight storage area, and rebuilt again during the 1990s. Kings Park station also had a spur called theKings Park Psychiatric Center Spur to the formerKings Park Psychiatric Center, which was originally built in 1896,[3] and officially decommissioned in 1971, although trains were used to bring coal to the hospital until 1987. Today the right-of-way serves as the Kings Park Hike and Bike Trail,[4][5] which leads to theNissequogue River State Park.
