Hicksville (LIRR station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hicksville is a station on the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road, and the most-heavily utilized station east of Jamaica Station. All trains for the Port Jefferson Branch stop at Hicksville, and while all trains on the Ronkonkoma Branch pass through this station, a few do not stop.[1] The station is located at Newbridge Road (Route 106) and West Barclay Street in Hicksville, New York. It has two platforms and three tracks. It is fully wheelchair accessible, with an elevator to each platform from street level. It is serviced by 12 Long Island Bus routes: the N20, N22, N48, N49, N50, N73, N74, N78, N79, N80, N81, and N94. There is a yellow cab service on the ground level of the station.
[edit] Platforms and tracks
There are two platforms, Platform A and Platform B. Generally, Platform A is used for westbound trains and Platform B for eastbound trains. Track 1, which is accessible from Platform A, is used mostly for diesel trains that terminate or originate from Hicksville, and occasionally freight trains. Track 2 is located between platforms A and B, but trains rarely open their doors to Platform B. Track 2 is usually used for westbound trains to Penn Station, Flatbush Avenue station, or the other New York terminals. Track 3 is used for eastbound trains, except on weekday mornings when there are some westbound trains.
