History
Oceanside station opened in 1897 as part of the New York and Long Beach Railroad, which was merged into the LIRR in 1909. The station was rebuilt on May 1, 1915, and again in 1959, and 2002. While a station house exists, it also has sheltered platforms on both sides of the tracks.
Station layout
The station has two high-level side platforms, each eight cars long, and is wheelchair-accessible. The station house and parking lot are located east of inbound platform. There are four nearby parking lots, all restricted to residents of Oceanside. Parking permits are issued by the Town of Hempstead.[2]
