History
Mastic–Shirley station was built as a replacement for the former Mastic station (originally named Forge) built in 1882 and located 7,010 feet (2.14 km) east on Mastic Road. Service for the Mastic–Shirley train station began July 7, 1960.[2][3] The station house at Mastic was torn down a month later.[4] When Center Moriches station was eliminated by the LIRR on March 16, 1998, Mastic–Shirley was one of two stations recommended for use as a substitute by the patrons of the now-closed station – the other was Speonk.[5]
The station was extensively renovated between 2023 and 2025.[6][7] As part of the $7.5-million reconstruction project, the platform was rehabilitated, new station lighting, signage, fixtures, and finishes were added, a new sidewalk & plaza were constructed, and the station house was converted into an open-air shelter, featuring historic images of the station and the surrounding area.[6][7]
Station layout
The station has one four-car-long high-level platform on the south side of the single track.[2] JJD interlocking (formerly MS), a remote-controlled siding where trains can pass each other, is located east of the station.[8]
