Center Moriches (LIRR station)

Center Moriches was a station stop along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It was located on Railroad Avenue and Hamilton Street in Center Moriches, New York.
History
The station was built by the Brooklyn and Montauk Railroad around 1881 as "Moriches Station" after the original Moriches station was renamed for the geographically correct Eastport, New York. At some point the station was renamed as well for the more geographically correct Center Moriches, New York. Until 1906, it was also a terminal with a wye, a small yard, and a transfer point for one of the east end scoots. When East Moriches and Eastport Stations were closed by the LIRR on October 6, 1958, commuters who used those stations were advised to use Center Moriches station. This was the last railroad station in the Moricheses. The station house was razed in 1964, but continued as a platform. Although a new shelter was built sometime around 1985, it was finally closed on March 16, 1998. This station and a handful of others at the time were closed due to low usage.[1]
