 Yaphank station was replaced by a second station building in 1875 that contained elaborate gingerbread woodwork.Before World War II, Yaphank Station was known as the stop for the "Camp Siegfried Special", a train that took members of the German American Bund from parts of New York City to an infamous Hitler Youth camp known as Camp Siegfried.The decorative features were reduced considerably in June 1941, and then the station house was closed in 1958 and burned down in 1961.
