Gibson is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Far Rockaway Branch in the Gibson section of Valley Stream, Nassau County, New York. The station is at Gibson Boulevard and Munro Boulevard.
History
The station opened on May 29, 1929 as part of William R. Gibson's residential development within Valley Stream. The LIRR only agreed to stop in the area if Gibson built the station himself, which he did.[2] The station has mostly remained identical since opening.
Station layout
The station has two high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long.
