Neither the Montauk Branch schedule nor the Babylon Branch schedule show STOPS at St Albans. Nor does it seem possible to take a single train from St Albans to Valley Stream. It seems the next stop for all eastbound trains on the West Hempstead Branch is Westwood. St Albans may use the same tracks as Montauk & Babylon Branches - but it does not use their services (which is the heading for that section of the infobox). I see no reason to include Montauk & Babylon branches in the infobox - it is just misleading (as is Valley Stream). Also, the next eastbound station on the tracks is Rosedale - putting Valley Stream seems as misleading as putting Rosedale would be. --JimWae (talk) 22:08, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rosedale only serves Far Rockaway and Long Beach Branch trains from the Atlantic Branch, though. West Hempstead and Babylon Branch trains pass right by Rosedale Station, so that removes it's status as the next eastbound station. ----DanTD (talk) 03:21, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On Google Earth it looks like south access is via a tunnel that opens onto Montauk Dr, not Foch -- although both are dead-end streets that nearly intersect there. I am sure I never used that access, and am pretty sure I never even saw it, nor ever walked along there. --JimWae (talk) 19:32, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
