Bellmore is a station along the Babylon Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is officially located on the north side of Sunrise Highway and Bedford Avenue in Bellmore, New York, however the actual land held by the station spans west of Center Avenue and east of Bellmore Avenue.
Bellmore Station was originally built by the South Side Railroad of Long Island in October 1869. Another station was built some time in the early-20th Century. Like so many stations along the Babylon-Montauk Branch, it was one of many that were elevated throughout Nassau and Western Suffolk Counties during the 1950s and 1960s, in this case between 1968 and 1969. The sheltered shed that once served as an earlier station is preserved and located in the parking lot.
