Glendale was a Long Island Rail Road station along the Lower Montauk Branch, located in Glendale, Queens at Edsall Avenue and 73rd Street, near Central Avenue, at the All Faiths Monuments factory for the All Faiths Cemetery.[1][2] This station had two "platforms" which were just strips of pavement besides the tracks signed as the station, and two tracks.[1]

In recent years, proposals to bring back passenger service along the Lower Montauk Branch have been suggested.
