During the mid-1870s, the station and the rest of the line merged with the Central Railroad of Long Island to form the Flushing, North Shore and Central Railroad, and then became part of the Port Washington Branch of the Long Island Rail Road, which also used the station as the eastern terminus of the White Line between 1873 and 1876.
The passage describes a series of mergers and changes in ownership and operation of a railway station and its associated line during the mid-1870s. The station served as an important hub, connecting to different railroads and lines.
