Brookhaven station (LIRR)
Brookhaven was a station stop along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It first opened around 1884 by the Brooklyn and Montauk Railroad and discontinued as a station stop on October 6, 1958.[1] The station was located at Bridge Street and Old Stump Road (former Suffolk County Route 21), and continued to show up on road maps as recently as the 1980s. The former freight house has been moved to various private locations since 1958, and modified by each owner.
