Penny Bridge was a station stop along the Lower Montauk Branch that runs from Long Island City, Queens to Jamaica, Queens, in the state of New York. This station first opened on June 26, 1854 by the New York and Flushing Railroad. It was later acquired by the South Side Railroad of Long Island in 1869, and then the Long Island Railroad in 1878. During its existence, the station served local industry as well as the Calvary Cemetery. Before the Kosciuszko Bridge was built, it also served businesses on the Brooklyn side of Newtown Creek (the name referring to the Penny Bridge that formerly connected Laurel Hill Boulevard to Meeker Avenue before it was closed in 1939) prior to the closure and removal of the bridge.
