Modeling this Shelter
Greenvale station shelter shed
and low-level platforms – June, 1987. Notice telephone booths on
each platform and a New York Post newspaper vending machine near the
wooden shelter. U. S. Mail box behind the far corner of the shelter.
The between-track fence with pedestrian grade crossing mid-platform!
The structure was razed in 1991 and high-level platforms installed.

MU Double Decker #1330 lays up on the West Hempstead "Long Siding" in front of the shelter shed at the low-level platform at Hempstead
Gardens 01/01/1972. This siding extended from just east of the West Hempstead station west to Hempstead Gardens and was used for layups of MU trains. This was the last year or two of the old MU cars, and the West Hempstead branch eventually ran only a two-car shuttle between the terminal at West Hempstead to Valley Stream, until high level platforms were installed along the branch and the new M1 cars run.

I take quite a bit of
pride in this shelter. It is a gorgeous structure made of stone,
heavy wood support columns and a slate roof.
In the late 1990s,
Huntington Station underwent a huge Capital Programs rehabilitation.
Capital had planned to demolish the shelter because it was showing
signs of significant decay.
When I found out about
that, I spoke with the Project Manager Boris Gutman. I told Boris
that the shelter was historic and it was a beautiful structure in its
own right. I told Boris that if he restored the shelter, it would
enhance the beauty of the entire station area and his entire project
would come out looking better as a result. To
my pleasant surprise, Boris listened to me and not only saved the
shelter, but he had it completely restored. Dave Morrision
The shelter survives
today due to the efforts of Dave Morrision; else it would have joined
the ranks of the East Williston Station building and Patchogue PD Tower.
