East Williston (LIRR station)
East Williston is the first station along the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, at Hillside Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue in East Williston, New York. Electric third rail territory ends just north of the station, so most trains are diesel bi-level trains, but one electric train a day originates here, during the morning rush hour. This is the lone Oyster Bay Branch only station located in fare zone 4.
==History==
East Williston's station house opened in February 1880〔(The Long Island Rail Road: The age of expansion, 1863-1880 Vincent Seyfried Page 203 )〕 by the Glen Cove Branch Rail Road. It originally contained a freight house and wooden platform shelters that were closed during the mid-20th Century. Third rail was installed from Mineola to East Williston in 1934 because there were originally plans to electrify the entire Oyster Bay Branch, however this did not occur.〔 It was also a convenient, less-busy location to turn back electric trains to Mineola, a service since made redundant by subsequent extensions of the electrification to Hicksville and beyond.
The canopies surrounding the station house began to sag by 1960, and the LIRR considered closing it along with Albertson station, and combining the two stations in between the current existing ones. However after a great deal of community opposition, those plans were shelved,〔"2 L.I. Stations Kept: Railroad Blows to Opponents of Single One in Between," (New York Times; May 19, 1960)〕 and East Williston's canopies were restored between 1965 and 1966. High level platforms were added in December 1982.〔(East Williston Station History (Arrt's Arrchives) )〕 These projects did little to keep the station house in stable condition, and it was closed on December 10, 1996. Since then, it has operated as little more than a pair of sheltered high-level platforms with ticket vending machines and handicapped access ramps. Efforts to preserve the original station house failed when it was found to be too structurally unstable, and it was razed on December 11, 2004. Some in the community〔(East Williston Train Station Project: Report of the Historic Committee (Incorporated Village of East Williston) )〕 have been considering building a whole new version of the original station house, but have instead opted for a decorative open-air shelter.〔(East Williston Station Shelter (TheSubwayNut) )〕
