Location Uncertainty
Where the station was located is uncertain. Some sources label its placement as past Neptune House in or next to Belle Harbor, while some say it was located on Rockaway Freeway in between Edgemere and Far Rockaway stations or on Rockaway Freeway between Edgemere and South Side Pavilion stations, though the last two could very well be two descriptions of the same place.[1]
History
The station opened in May 1875. [2] It closed sometime before 1929[3] (if its placement was near Edgemere) or 1901 [4] (if its placement was past Neptune House.) [5]
