History

Murray Hill Station was originally built in either 1889 or 1890, and torn down in 1912.[2] When the Port Washington branch was depressed between 1912 and 1914, the station house was replaced in 1914 with one built on a bridge built over the tracks.[3] This structure was torn down in 1964, but Murray Hill continues to operate as an unmanned station to this day. Minor renovations took place between 1991 and 1993. A new pedestrian bridge as well as other amenities were added in 2005. Murray Hill station has a short platform in each direction, as a result, only the first (or last, depending on direction of travel) four cars of the train can open their doors.

Platforms and tracks

The station has two high-level side platforms, each four cars long. The north platform next to Track 1, is generally used by westbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The south platform next to Track 2, is generally used by eastbound or Nassau County-bound trains. The branch has two tracks here.
