Murray Hill station was originally built in April 1889, and torn down in 1912 when the Port Washington Branch was depressed below grade in this area during a grade crossing elimination project, which took place between 1912 and 1914.[3] The station house was replaced in July 1914 with one built on a bridge built over the tracks.[4] This structure was torn down in 1964, and Murray Hill continues to operate as an unmanned station to this day. Minor renovations took place between 1991 and 1993. A new pedestrian bridge as well as other amenities were added in 2005. Two elevators were opened by May 4, 2020.[5][6][7][8] The elevators were originally slated for completion in 2019, but were delayed to mid-2020 due to delays in the delivery of elevator cabs.[9]
The station has two high-level side platforms, each four cars long. The first four cars toward Manhattan and the last four cars toward Great Neck and Port Washington will platform at the station.
