History
Bellerose station was originally built in 1898 and rebuilt in the summer of 1909.[3]: 19 It was out of service between December 12–15, 1960, and replaced with a third station between 1960 and 1961.[4] 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.[3][4]
As part of the grade crossing elimination the junction of Main Line and Hempstead Branch was moved west of Bellerose.[5] The two lines remain closely parallel each other along the same right-of-way between Jamaica and Floral Park. The platform was placed between the two Hempstead Branch tracks.[5]
