[edit] History

Huntington Station was built in 1867, and throughout much of the 20th century served as a transfer point between electrified portion and diesel portion of the Port Jefferson Branch. It also once served as the southern terminus of the Huntington Trolley Spur.

Two pedestrian bridges are of many improvments to the station in recent years.

In the 1990's Huntington Station faced major reconstruction that included the addition of high-level platforms, parking garages, and pedestrain bridges over both the tracks and over NY 110.
