Aquebogue was a station stop along the Greenport Branch of the Long Island Rail Road in Aquebogue, New York.
History
Aquebogue first appeared on the June 1892 timetable. Work began in March 1910 and was completed over the summer. An acre of land on the east was bought and filled in to provide a 1400-foot passing track. A new frame station was built in 1911 on the south side of the track opposite the new station. A new depot was erected at Aquebogue in 1910, and was gutted out and remodeled as a shelter shed in 1956, and was finally razed in July 1967.
