View looking east/northeast over the Love Lane railroad crossing in Mattituck on August 31, 1921. Pike Street is the road that is out of view off to the far right.
The station photo was the second of three transformations of this North Fork railroad stop. This station was built in 1878 and underwent some remodeling about 23 years later when this photograph was taken.

1958 photo:  This is the same Mattituck depot building as shown in the early view above and reflects the severe remodeling of 1944 to which several eastern LI depots were subjected.  “K” block signal with semaphore arms appears out front of the structure with the block limit signal affixed lower down on the signal mast.  This view is looking southwest and shows the express house at the far right and the large, old school building in the background behind the depot area.   Photo by LIRR trainman Irving Solomon for the Public Service Commission,  Dave Keller archive

LIRR Special Services Attendant Richard F. Makse photographed westbound Greenport train #205, the "Shelter Island Express," as it boarded passengers at the Mattituck station on August 10, 1970.The early morning lighting highlights the "K" block limit signal as well as the sheet metal shelter-shed that replaced the old 1878 wooden depot three years earlier. The former New Haven RR parlor car "Rocky Neck Beach" at the rear of the train had joined the LIRR's "lightweight" parlor fleet a year previous, and would later be renamed "Speonk."
