Former services

Miller Place (originally Miller's Place) was a station on the Wading River Extension on the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. The station was just east of Sylvan Avenue just north of New York State Route 25A, along what is now access for Long Island Power Authority power lines.

History

Miller Place station was originally built in 1898 during the extension of the Port Jefferson Branch to Wading River and was once slated to continue eastward and rejoin the Main Line at either Riverhead or Calverton.

The line east of Port Jefferson, which included the Miller Place station, was abandoned in 1938. The right-of-way is now owned by the Long Island Power Authority and used for power lines, but there are plans to create a rail trail for bicycling, running, and walking.
