Mill Neck is a closed rail station along the Oyster Bay Branch. It was originally opened around November 1892 as a replacement of the former Bayville Station, which was built in 1889 as a boxcar at the Kaintuck Lane railroad crossing on the west side os Shu Swamp. Mill Neck Station was built on the east side of that swamp and was burned on April 3, 1911, only to be rebuilt in 1912, and torched again in 1918, then rebuilt in 1919 slightly to the east of the previous locations. At some point during the 20th Century, a post office was added to the station. Mill Neck Station finally closed on March 16, 1998 along with nine other stations.^{[1] [2]} It is located between Oyster Bay and Locust Valley Stations. As of 2003 the historic station depot is home to a town hall, post office and Old Brookville Police Department substation.
