Mastic-Shirley is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Montauk Branch, located in Shirley, New York. This station is accessible via William Floyd Parkway. 2 ticket machines are available at the station.
Mastic-Shirley Station was built as a replacement for the former Mastic Station(originally Forge Station) that was built in 1882 and located 7,010 feet east on Mastic Road. Service for the Mastic-Shirley train station began July 7, 1960. The now unused station house at the original station was torn down a month later.
When Center Moriches Station was eliminated by the LIRR on March 16, 1998, Mastic-Shirley station was one of two stations that were recommended to take in commuters from this location. The other was Speonk Station.
