Seaford is a railroad station along the Babylon Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is officially located at New York State Route 27 and Jackson Avenue in Seaford, New York, however parking areas stretch as beyond Washington Avenue east of this corner, and west towards the interchange with New York State Route 135.
Seaford Station is typical of the elevated Babylon Branch trains that were rebuilt during the mid-to-late 20th Century. What makes it atypical, however is its close proximity to the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway interchange. The station was opened on May 26, 1899. It was razed on April 15, 1966 as part of the grade elimination project, which was built between 1966 and 1967.
The station is being reconstructed and only the western one-third of the platform is accessible. Work is expected to be completed by January 1, 2010.
