Glen Head is a railroad station along the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is officially located at Glen Head Road (Greenwood) and School Street in Glen Head, New York. However, parking is available between Glen Head Road and Locust Avenue on the east side of the tracks and between Glen Head Road and Walnut Avenue on the west side of the tracks.
The village of Glen Head (and the station that serves it) got its name from being the initial terminus "head of the rails" for the Glen Cove Branch from January 23, 1865, to 1867. The station was rebuilt in May 1888, and again midway through 1961.
