History

[edit]
The rebuilt station house at Westhampton LIRR station

Westhampton station was originally built in 1869 along what was then the Sag Harbor Branch.[2] In 1905, a second station was built when the first one was moved to a private location.

The station burned down in 1986, but was rebuilt sometime between then and the year 2000. When Quogue station was closed on March 16, 1998, Westhampton was one of the two stations that replaced it. The other was Hampton Bays.

Station layout

[edit]

The station has one eight-car-long high-level side platform on the south side of the main track. There is a shelter on the platform. A siding is on the north side of the main track.
