Central Islip is a station along the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located on the southwest corner of Suffolk County Road 100 (Suffolk Avenue) and Lowell Road in Central Islip, New York. The station also serves Suffolk County Transit buses S42, S45, 3C, and 3D, as well as local taxi services.
Until the late-1980s Central Islip Station was located on the southeast corner of Suffolk County Roads 17 & 100. It was moved to the corner of Lowell Road as part of a major reconstruction project of the line in Central Islip, Brentwood, Deer Park, and Wyandanch. The station was built on the site of a former spur to the Central Islip Psychiatric Center, that was abandoned years before the hospital was closed. Across Lowell Road is the site of a Waldbaum's warehouse, that once had a freight spur leading to it.
