Canal Street (LIRR station)

Canal Street was a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line and Montauk Branch at Canal Street (now 168th Street) in Jamaica, Queens, New York City, United States.

The station opened on June 24, 1890, when the local Atlantic Avenue rapid transit trains were extended from Woodhaven Junction through Jamaica to Rockaway Junction, their new terminal.[1] The station was closed in 1899, soon after the "rapid transit" trains started running to the Brooklyn Bridge.[2]
