Laurel Hill was a railroad station on the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road in Long Island City, New York. It was located on Clifton Street south of Clinton Place, neither of which exist today. Clifton Street is now 46th Street, and is a dead end street that doesn't reach the vicinity of the Montauk Branch.
Laurel Hill Station was located a few blocks west of the point where the former junction between the New York and Flushing Railroad and South Side Railroad of Long Island existed.[1] It was built by the LIRR in 1890, fifteen years after that junction was eliminated for passenger service, and ten years after it was removed completely. The station was only opened for ten years.[2] Industrialization of Long Island City and the altering of street patterns and names have removed all traces of the former station, which is currently along 56th Road (Laurel Hill Boulevard) halfway between 43rd and 48th Streets.
