Greenvale (formerly known as Week's) is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Oyster Bay Branch. The station is located off Helen Street, between Glen Cove Avenue and Glen Cove Road in the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor, in Nassau County, New York, United States.
History
The Greenvale station was originally established by the Glen Cove Branch Rail Road – a subsidiary of the Long Island Rail Road which opened the year prior between Mineola and Glen Head – on July 21, 1866, as "Week's station," a freight-only station primarily used for delivering milk.[1][2][3] Passengers were briefly allowed at the station in 1875, and then again sometime during the 1880s.[3][4][5] At some point, the station was renamed "Greenvale."[3]
The passenger station has never existed as anything else other than a sheltered platform.[3] On May 17, 1891, it was demolished by a locomotive that collided with a horse whose hoof was stuck in the switching apparatus; the collision resulted in the deaths of the horse and the two crew members.[6] The station was subsequently rebuilt.[3][7]
Modern history
New shelters were built on both sides of the tracks in 2000 on high-level platforms that were installed in 1997 to make the station compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and compatible with the Long Island Rail Road's then-new C3 bilevel railcars, which could not serve low-level platforms.[3]
Station layout
The Greenvale station is located partially at ground level and partially built on an embankment. It has two high-level side platforms, each four cars long.[8]

Parking
A permit parking lot (requiring a Village of Roslyn Harbor resident or non-resident parking permit) is located on the west side of the Greenvale station, while an additional parking lot on the east side contains additional village permit parking – plus a section with metered, unrestricted parking, where no permits are required.[8][9]
All of the Greenvale station's parking lots are operated and maintained by the Village of Roslyn Harbor.[9]
