Baldwin is a station on the Babylon Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is officially located on Sunrise Highway (NY 27) and Grand Avenue (CR 55) in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York, although it also includes Milburn and Brooklyn Avenues.
History
Baldwin station was originally built in February 1868 by the South Side Railroad of Long Island, though trains had already been stopping there, then called Baldwinsville, since October 28, 1867.[1] The station was remodeled in May 1881, and was razed in 1917, and a second station opened later that year, on December 28.[1]
As part of the grade crossing elimination project taking place along the Babylon Branch during the mid-20th century, the second Baldwin station was razed in November 1957.[1][2] It was officially replaced with the current elevated structure on October 2, 1957, after the last ground level train passed through at 12:18 pm that afternoon.[2][3]
The Baldwin Civic Association commissioned a mural of Nunley's carousel by artist Michael White, which was installed at the Baldwin station on April 22, 2019.[4][5]
Station layout
The station has one 12-car-long high-level island platform between the two tracks. The platform includes an extension over the Grand Avenue bridge between the two tracks that is covered with a gabled roof.
