Rail Transportation
- Long Island Railroad -
The Long Island Railroad (LIRR) serves all of Long Island with service to New York
City's Penn Station; connections are available from there to
Amtrak and regional lines.
The closest LIRR Station to BNL is in Mastic/Shirley; however, trains arrive and depart more frequently at Patchogue and Ronkonkoma. To find schedules and more information, call (631) 822-5477 or (631) 231-5477
To get to the Mastic/Shirley LIRR station, take William Floyd (Rte. 46) south of the Lab, past the LIE, Route 27 and Montauk Highway. The parking lot is on the left just after the railroad tracks.
To get to the LIRR Ronkonkoma station, take the LIE to Exit 60, go south, and follow the signs. Parking here is sometimes scarce on weekdays, but the trains run early every hour and the trip takes only an hour and a half. Or, take the Lab car service.
The Port Jefferson station has fewer trains that take more time than Ronkonkoma trains, but the station is closer to the Lab than Ronkonkoma. Take Rte. 46 north to its end at Rte. 25A, following it for 15 miles and taking the right fork toward Port Jeff. At the T intersection, take a right; the station is on the south side of the tracks on the right side of the road. Passengers from Port Jeff need to change trains once (get off, stand at the same platform, get on the next train) to get to Manhattan. - Long Island Railroad Schedules & Fares
