Mastic was a station stop along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It was located on the corner of Mastic Road and Mastic Boulevard at the Mastic Road grade crossing, near the Fire Department and Mastic Seafoods.
History
Mastic station was originally built by the
William Floyd Parkway grade crossing on the same date.[2] The depot was razed in August 1960, despite efforts by local residents of Mastic, Mastic Acres, Mastic Beach and Mastic Park[3] to keep it intact.[4]
