Port Jefferson Branch
Encyclopedia
The Port Jefferson Branch is a rail line and service owned and operated by the Long Island Rail Road
in the U.S. state
of New York
. The branch splits from the Main Line
just east of Hicksville
and runs northeast and east to Port Jefferson
. Several Main Line stations west of Hicksville are served by trains bound to/from the Port Jefferson branch, so LIRR maps and schedules for the public include that part of the Main Line in the "Port Jefferson Branch" service.
The Port Jefferson Branch is one of the busiest branches of the LIRR, with frequent electric service to Huntington
, and diesel service east of Huntington.
station on a layup track for electric trains. East of there the line is single track with passing sidings at Greenlawn, east of East Northport
, Kings Park
, Smithtown
and Stony Brook
.
Stations on the electrified portion that have the heaviest traffic include Mineola
, Hicksville
, and Huntington
. On the non-electrified portion, the heaviest traffic tends to be to the Stony Brook station where the State University of New York at Stony Brook
is located.
There are occasional plans to electrify this line past Huntington, at least to Northport
, in conjunction with the construction of a planned new electric train yard, to alleviate overcrowding and service limitations on the Ronkonkoma Branch
, and to otherwise accommodate increased ridership expected once the East Side Access
project to Grand Central Terminal
is completed. As of 2006, funding for this project has been deferred to a future capital budget and preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement
has been suspended.
A third Main Line track from Bellerose to Mineola has also been proposed in order to provide increased services. This has been delayed until 2014 or 2015, when East Side Access nears completion in 2016.
Most Port Jefferson electric trains operate the full route from Penn Station to Huntington. Supplemental service is provided on Ronkonkoma Branch
trains to Mineola and Hicksville. Additional service to Mineola is provided by Oyster Bay Branch
trains, and some Patchogue
-bound Montauk Branch
trains also stop at Mineola and Hicksville on weekdays. Also, one Montauk
-bound train makes a stop at Hicksville overnight on weeknights. During off-peak hours, including weekends, a diesel shuttle runs between either Hicksville or Huntington and Port Jefferson. During rush hours, there is extra service, including through service to Atlantic Terminal, service to Penn Station
that bypasses Jamaica
, and direct service to Hunterspoint Avenue

, the result of another argument between Charlick and Northport.
The Port Jefferson Branch formerly extended to Wading River
in 1895, and was once slated to continue eastward and rejoin the Main Line at either Riverhead or Calverton
. From 1905 to 1928, Wading River was also the site of an LIRR Demonstration farm. The other one was east of Medford
station on the Main Line
. The line east of Port Jefferson was abandoned in 1938. The right-of-way is now owned by the Long Island Power Authority
and used for power lines but there are plans to create a rail trail
for bicycling, running, and walking. The Port Jefferson Branch was electrified to Huntington Station in 1970. The former Northport Branch was abandoned in 1985, and the Kings Park Psychiatric Center
spur was abandoned in 1988.
On a small note, electrification reached from Mineola to Hicksville & Huntington in 1970. For 15 years from Amott Interlocking east of Syosset Station to west of Huntington it was single-tracked. In 1985, they constructed a second electrified track in that area to avoid the single track bottle neck, this included Cold Spring Harbor adding a second platform.

History
The line from Hicksville to Syosset opened in 1854. The LIRR later planned to extend to Cold Spring Harbor, but Oliver Charlick, the LIRR's president, disagreed over the station's location, so Charlick abandoned the grade and relocated the extension south of Cold Spring, refusing to add a station stop near Cold Spring for years. Another argument at Huntington led to the line bypassing the town two miles (3 km) to the south, though a station was built. The line was extended from Syosset past Huntington to Northport in 1868, and in 1873 the Smithtown and Port Jefferson Railroad opened from a mile south of Northport to Port Jefferson, turning the old line into Northport into the Northport BranchNorthport Branch
The Northport Branch was a spur off the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, running from between Greenlawn and Northport stations to directly within Northport Village....
