Suffolk Downs was a seasonal flag stop along the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and was first built in 1907.[1] The depot was purchased by an LIRR employee and was moved to Peconic Bay at an undisclosed location on February 6, 1923 and the station stop itself closed around 1927.[2] The station stop was located between Canoe Place and Shinnecock Hills Stations, near the grade crossing at Peconic Road.[3]
