Roslyn is a railroad station along the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located at Lincoln Avenue and Railroad Avenue, west of Roslyn Road in Roslyn, New York.
Roslyn Station was built in 1865 and rebuilt in 1887. In 1882 the Long Island Railroad attempted to extend the former Flushing and North Side Railroad line between Great Neck and Roslyn Station. This proposal failed, and instead the line was extended to Port Washington in 1898. Roslyn Station was restored to its 19th century origins in recent years. Free parking is available on the west side of the station.
