Glendale (LIRR station)
Glendale was a Long Island Rail Road station along the Lower Montauk Branch, located at Edsall Avenue and 73rd Street, near Cooper Avenue, at the ''All Faiths Monuments'' factory for the Queens Lutheran Cemetery in Glendale, Queens.〔 This station had two "platforms" (which were actually just strips of pavement besides the tracks) and two tracks.〔
It opened around June 1869 (although some sources claim it was built in 1868) and contained a small station house along the eastbound tracks. Nearby freight service included such companies as American Grass Twine Works, and Prairie Grass Furniture Company. Trains from the Rockaway Beach Branch also served the station prior to that line's connection with the LIRR Main Line. In January 1927 due to decreasing ridership, the LIRR razed the station and months later the name was moved to a new station at Metropolitan Avenue on the Rockaway Beach Branch on September 15, 1927. The name would last for over a month until it was changed to Parkside Station on October 23, 1927,〔''The Long Island Rail Road: A Comprehensive History Volume #5; New York, Woodhaven & Rockaway Railroad; New York & Rockaway Beach railway; New York & Long Beach Railroad; New York & Rockaway railroad; Brooklyn rapid transit operation to Rockaway; Over L.I.R.R.'', by Vincent F. Seyfried〕 and Glendale was returned to the Montauk Branch as a wooden sheltered shed along the westbound tracks by 1928. The wooden shed was replaced by corrugated iron during World War II.
This station closed on March 16, 1998 along with the other remaining stations on the Lower Montauk due to low ridership and inability to operate with the C3 bi-level coaches, which can only stop at stations with high level platforms. This station only had two daily riders for two daily trips at the time of its closure
