History
The first depot opened around March 1869 by the South Side Railroad of Long Island and was razed around 1903. The second depot opened August 10, 1903 and contained a passing siding, sometimes used for freight. Additionally, it had a connection to the South Shore Traction Company trolleys, which were later replaced by Suffolk Traction Company trolleys. The barrel factory was closed in 1938 and replaced by a Gulf Oil Company distributor. The station was discontinued on September 6, 1980. The station was located between Sayville and Blue Point Stations, the latter of which was discontinued on the same day. The only visible evidence of the former station is the large gap between the tracks and the fence that lines Railroad street.
The vicinity saw several teenage suicides in recent years. A recent victim was Emma Casey, a Bayport-Blue Point High School student, on June 13, 2005.
