"Quogue had a reason that it was closed that some may not remember - it was over the issue of overnight or other parking with the Village of Quogue who was adamantly opposed to expansion of the lot at the station. The Village gave the LIRR such a hassle over this issue the railroad then decided to close the station with the late 90s high level platform expansion. I remember that the station site had multiple NO PARKING signs installed and the closed lot cordoned off long after service ended there. It was not just low ridership that got Quogue Station closed."
