Babylon is an intermodal transportation hub in the village of Babylon, New York, located at Railroad Avenue, west of Deer Park Avenue (CR 34). It is on the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road and is the eastern terminus of service on the LIRR's Babylon Branch – and additionally serves as a major hub for Suffolk County Transit buses.
To the west of the station is Belmont Junction, where the LIRR's Central Branch splits from the Montauk Branch, to head northwest to join the Main Line at BETH Interlocking, southeast of the Bethpage station.
The Babylon station is elevated with two island platforms and is wheelchair accessible through elevator access. The electrified portion of the Montauk Branch ends east of the station, at the Babylon Yard.
