Laurel Hill was a railroad station on theLower Montauk Branch of theLong Island Rail Road inLong Island City, New York. It existed briefly around the 1880s[1] and was located where Clifton Street (now 46th Street) used to intersect the railroad line.[2][1]
Laurel Hill station was located a few blocks west of the point where the former junction between theNew York and Flushing Railroad andSouth Side Railroad of Long Island existed.[3] It was built by the LIRR in 1890[dubious –discuss]. The station was relatively short-lived and closed in September 1892.[1] Also in September 1892, the newHaberman station opened only a short distance to the east.[4]
WHEN THE BROOKLYN & MONTAUK RAILROAD DOUBLETRACKED THIS LINE IN 1880 […] LOOKING NORTH JUST SOUTH OF CLIFTON AVENUE (46th STREET) IN 1910. IN THE 1880'S AND UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1892, THIS WAS THE LOCATION OF LAUREL HILL STATION.
