Mastic–Shirley station


Mastic–Shirley is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Montauk Branch in Shirley, New York, located off William Floyd Parkway. The station has two ticket machines.

History

Mastic–Shirley station was built as a replacement for the former Mastic station built in 1882 and located east on Mastic Road. Service for the Mastic–Shirley train station began July 7, 1960. The now-unused station house at the original station was torn down a month later. When Center Moriches station was eliminated by the LIRR on March 16, 1998, Mastic–Shirley was one of two stations recommended for use as a substitute by the patrons of the now-closed station – the other was Speonk.
The station was extensively renovated between 2023 and 2025. As part of the $7.5-million reconstruction project, the platform was rehabilitated, new station lighting, signage, fixtures, and finishes were added, a new sidewalk & plaza were constructed, and the station house was converted into an open-air shelter, featuring historic images of the station and the surrounding area.

Station layout

The station has one four-car-long high-level platform on the south side of the single track. JJD interlocking, a remote-controlled siding where trains can pass each other, is located east of the station.
