Westwood (LIRR station)
Westwood is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's West Hempstead Branch serving the villages of Malverne, Lynbrook, and Valley Stream, New York. The station platform is located on Foster Avenue in Malverne, New York, with parking facilities on both the Malverne (Foster Avenue at Motley Street) and Lynbrook (Whitehall Street at Whittier Street) sides of the tracks. It has no station building other than a pair of open shelters, the larger one on the Malverne side of the tracks. It also features a gated at-grade pedestrian crossing,〔(Westwood's at-grade Pedestrian Crossing looking from Lynbrook into Malverne (Unofficial LIRR History Website) )〕 one of only two such stations on the Long Island Rail Road to exclusively feature such crossings, the other being Stony Brook.
No buses connect to Westwood Station, however local suburban taxi cabs do stop there. A basketball court can be found on the Malverne side of the station.
==History==
Before the establishment of Westwood Station, the station itself was the site of a junction of two freight sidings in Lynbrook that existed only in 1924 both of which were abandoned in September of that year. The line was electrified on October 19, 1926 and the station itself was established in September 1929. The small station house had a single platform on the Malverne side, as well as an un-gated pedestrian crossing, and a pedestrian bridge over the tracks which existed only until 1938.〔(February 23, 1946 view of Westwood Station House in Malverne from across the tracks in Lynbrook, by William Gilligan (TrainsAreFun) )〕 By 1955, the station house was gutted, leaving only the roof and the frame, thus transforming it into an open shelter.〔(LIRR station History (TrainsAreFun.com) )〕 At some point, an identical open shelter was built on the Lynbrook side of the tracks, which had a separate color scheme〔(Westwood Station on the Lynbrook side in February 1999 (Unofficial LIRR History Website) )〕 from the Malvern shelter〔(Westwood Station on the Malverne side in June 2006 (Unofficial LIRR History Website) )〕 until the 21st Century.
