Landia station is a closed railroad station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Jefferson Branch in the Locust Grove section of Syosset, in Nassau County, New York.
The station was opened on December 15, 1952 for the Fairchild Camera & Instrument Corporation, which had recently moved from Queens to Syosset. Its purpose was to provide transportation to work for Fairchild employees who still lived in Queens and did not own automobiles.
Service to the station was halted on June 26, 1972, as the station did not have high-level platforms to accommodate the LIRR's new M1 railcars, which did not have stairs to allow for passengers to board from grade-level.[1] In 1970, ridership at the station consisted of two daily passengers. On October 3, 1973, the station closed permanently.[2] [3] [4]
Reopening the station has been proposed as a solution to the gap problem at Syosset, as Landia is on a straight portion of track instead of the curved section at Syosset.[5]
