Blue Point was a station stop along the
South Shore Traction Company trolleys, which were later replaced by Suffolk Traction Company trolleys. Blue Point station closed on September 6, 1980. It was located between Bayport and Patchogue stations, the former of which also closed on the same day.[1] It was located between Bayport and Patchogue stations.[2]
The former station site, across from the Blue Point Wine & Liquor store, remains, to this day, gated off, and covered partially in trees, leaves, and weeds. Somewhat recently, the former site has been used by LIRR workers as a storage yard for road vehicles and equipment, being cleaned up in the process.
