 A low-cinder platform station was installed between Rockaway Road (today's Hempstead Avenue) and Fulton Street (now Hempstead Turnpike), which contained a bridge over the tracks and station for the New York and Long Island Traction Company trolleys.By 1926, the line was electrified with a substation built southeast of the current station site that remains to this day.West Hempstead Station was rebuilt in 1928 on the north side of Hempstead Avenue and relocated onto the south side of the road on September 15, 1935.
