Bellerose station

Bellerose station is a commuter rail station along the Main Line and Hempstead Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, located in the incorporated villages of Bellerose and Floral Park, in Nassau County, New York. The station is at Commonwealth Boulevard and Superior Road, south of Jericho Turnpike (NY 25).

The station has a full-service ticket vending machine, which is located at the north entrance to the station, in addition to a daily ticket vending machine, which is located at the south entrance.

History Bellerose station was originally built in 1898 and rebuilt in the summer of 1909. It was out of service between December 12–15, 1960, and replaced with a third station between 1960 and 1961. Until 1960, the station had a platform on each side of the four-track Main Line, though almost all trains that stopped ran to and from Hempstead.

As part of the grade crossing elimination, the junction between the Main Line and Hempstead Branch was moved west of Bellerose. The two lines remain closely parallel to each other, along the same right-of-way, between Jamaica and Floral Park. The platform was placed between the two Hempstead Branch tracks.

21st century The station is set to undergo a modernization project in the 2020s, as part of the MTA's 2025–2029 Capital Plan. The project will include making the station wheelchair accessible and updating the station's infrastructure and components. In 2026, the wheelchair accessibility project received $250,000 in federal funds.
