The Morris Park Facility is a maintenance facility of the Long Island Rail Road in Queens, New York City. It includes two employee-only side platforms on the Atlantic Branch named Boland's Landing.[1] Two wooden platforms, each two cars long, exist on the two-track line, with a flashlight for workers to signal trains to stop.[2]
The facility opened on November 1, 1889.[3] Though used for train storage for over a century, it is mainly used for maintaining and refueling diesel locomotives and electro-diesel locomotives since the 1990s.[4]: 6 The locomotive roundhouse was renovated in 2018, with construction being completed in late 2020.[5]
