Union Hall Street was a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line and Montauk Branch at Union Hall Street at York College in Jamaica, Queens, New York City, United States.
[edit] History
A station opened at New York Avenue (now Brewer Boulevard) on June 24, 1890, when the local Atlantic Avenue rapid transit trains were extended from Woodhaven Junction through Jamaica to Rockaway Junction.[citation needed] The station was closed between 1905 and 1911, but one opened a block away at Union Hall Street in 1913, when the tracks through Jamaica were grade-separated. It was closed in 1976.[1]
