Farmingdale Station, located on the Ronkonkoma Branch and serving 3,820 weekday customers, is currently receiving several station enhancements with a target completion date of the end of 2018. These enhancements include platform renewal and renovation of the station building to include Wi-Fi, USB charging stations and historic photos; the restroom is being refurbished, and improved signage and digital signage will be provided to improve the overall customer experience.
