Smithtown is a station on the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located off a low bridge over NY 25 – 25A along Redwood Lane between NY 25 – 25A and Landing Avenue in Smithtown, New York.
Smithtown station was originally built in 1873[2] by Charles Hallett of Riverhead for the Smithtown and Port Jefferson Railroad. In 1937, the station was rebuilt, and the grade crossing at Main Street (NY 25/NY 25A) immediately west of the station was eliminated.[3] A freight spur exists west of the bridge under Brooksite Drive.
The station contains a mural along the track side of the station called "Nissequogue Passages," by Robert Carioscia, which was sponsored by the Smithtown Township Arts Council in 1989.
This station has two high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long. On either end of the station, however, the tracks merge. Most trains utilize Platform B, with select trains using Platform A to allow two trains to bypass each other through the station.
