Grand Street was a railroad station on theMain Line of theLong Island Rail Road. It stood onGrand Street (now Avenue) in theElmhurst section ofQueens, New York City, west of the presentGrand Avenue – Newtown subway station on theIND Queens Boulevard Line. Though it was only operational for 12 years, it served both the Main Line and theRockaway Beach Branch which broke away from the main line inRego Park.
The station opened as a pair of sheltered sheds on July 1, 1913, and served both local main line trains and as the original terminus of the Rockaway Beach Branch. The sheds were removed in 1922, and it was discontinued as a station stop in 1925.[1] Three years later a newRego Park Station was built onWhitepot Junction, but it served Rockaway Beach Branch trains exclusively.
