Forest Hills LIRR Platform Expansion Underway

The changes will allow the first six cars of LIRR trains to meet the platform at the Forest Hills and Kew Gardens stations, instead of the first four cars.

  1. ...and I quote, “Station Square is the nucleus of the Forest Hills Gardens, and has been the site of numerous social activities since its inception some 100 years ago!” I’m all for the expansion from 4-6 it alleviates some tension of getting on during the morning commute. They put up metal fencing and wood platforms covered with some weather proof floor. This is a historic train station with President Roosevelt speaking here many moons ago. I hope this is temporary structure that’s up now and they keep with the decor of the past, with future renovations. Preserve thee history of Forest Hills LIRR station! Interesting article of a glimpse into our past...https://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/foresthillspeopling/station-square/
