The Kew Gardens train crash is the worst railway accident of Long Island Rail Road history, and one of the worst in New York State history. It happened during the evening rush hour of November 22, 1950 between Kew Gardens and Jamaica stations in New York City and killed 78 people. At the date of the crash this was described as being in the Richmond Hill neighborhood, but subsequent boundary changes mean the site is now considered to be in Kew Gardens.
