Far Rockaway – Lockwood's Grove is a closed rail station on the Long Island Rail Road's Cedarhurst Cut-off that was between Beach 21st Street and Beach 22nd Street in Far Rockaway, Queens. The old stationhouse was located roughly between the present Wavecrest station and Mott Ave station – when the line was at grade of course. Far Rockaway – Lockwood's Grove was opened by the New York and Rockaway Railroad on May 14, 1872 with the extension of the Cedarhurst Cut-off. The section of the Cedarhurst Cut-off between Far Rockaway and Lockwood's Grove was later known as "The Grove Track". On about July 1, 1871, before the extension to Far Rockaway open, the line was leased to the Long Island Railroad.^[1] The station closed in September 1877. Lockwood's Grove's original station building was moved to Syosset station in 1877 after the station was abandoned.^[2] The building was renovated in 1948, then torn down and replaced in 1948.^[3]
