Haberman station

Haberman was a station along the Long Island Rail Road's Lower Montauk Branch that was located at the intersection of Rust Street and 50th Street in Maspeth, Queens.

[2] The station is named after the Haberman Steel Enamel Works in Berlin village.

[2] Haberman opened in September 1892[2] (by some accounts[3] effectively replacing Laurel Hill station, which had until then been situated only a short distance to west) to serve the Haberman Manufacturing Company;[4] service was furnished by the Long Island City–East New York rapid-transit trains.

[2] The station still had manual railroad crossing gates and a guard shack as recently as 1973.

[6] In January 2018, Haberman was one of 8 stations on the Lower Montauk Branch that were considered for reopening in a study sponsored by the New York City Department of Transportation.
