Babylon Branch

Babylon Branch

The Babylon Branch is a fully-electrified rail service operated by the Long Island Rail Road in the U.S. state of New York. LIRR maps and schedules indicate that the Babylon Branch is the portion of the Montauk Branch from Valley Stream east to Babylon. Its west end is at the junction between the West Hempstead Branch and Montauk Branch (Valley Interlocking); the Montauk Branch from Valley Stream west to Jamaica is part of the West Hempstead Branch service. At the east end of the Babylon Branch, trains that continue are known as Montauk Branch trains; several of these use the Central Branch between Belmont Junction west of the Babylon station and a junction at Beth Interlocking on the Main Line southeast of the Bethpage Station, running to New York City via the Main Line.
