Malverne is a historic railroad station along the West Hempstead Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is officially located at Hempstead Avenue and Utterby Road, in Malverne, New York, and is also parallel to Church Street near Malverne Village Hall. Parking is primarily for those with residential and non-residential permits, but metered parking is available.

History

Depending on the source, the station was built in either 1909[1] or February 1913.[2] The station was originally named "Norwood" until it, and the community it serves were renamed Malverne, in order to alleviate confusion with another Norwood, New York in St. Lawrence County. "Norwood" was also the name of a station on the former Southern Hempstead Branch of the South Side Railroad of Long Island. Though not officially considered a historic landmark, it is the oldest surviving station along the West Hempstead Branch.

In February 1955, the LIRR agreed to extend the platform by Script error: No such module "convert". so it could accommodate ten-car trains. The footpath across the tracks was moved Script error: No such module "convert". to the east.[3]

Station layout

This station has one four-car-long side platform on the east side of the single track.
