==History==
Kew Gardens station originally opened in May 1879, however a Brooklyn Daily Eagle article points out that the station was not finished as of May, and others claim it was opened on December 6, 1879〔Vincent Seyfried's notes @ Stony Brook University〕 as Maple Grove, a flag stop solely to give access to Maple Grove Cemetery. Using today's landmarks (which did not exist then), the Station was located in back of the Mowbray and Kew Gardens Plaza Apartments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The 1950 LIRR crash at Kew Gardens/Richmond Hill )〕 A letter to THE LONG ISLAND FORUM, Vol 4 (Dec. 1941) says, "In 1897, I was a locomotive fireman on the L.I.R.R. and at that time the main line of the road between Jamaica and Long Island City was a single track road ... located about 150 or 200 ft. to the east of the present tracks which pass through ... Kew Gardens. A flag station known as Maple Grove was the only station between Jamaica and (). This track was mostly used by freight trains except in commuting hours when some passenger trains ran over it." (Tooker, Babylon, LI. )〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Picture History of Kew Gardens, NY - The Maple Grove Long Island Railroad Station. )〕 The station was closed in 1882, reopened in 1883, and removed in 1909 as part of the Maple Grove track realignment project.
