Sunnyside is a proposed commuter rail station to be served by the Long Island Rail Road and the Metro-North Railroad. Located in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Queens, New York, the station would be located within the City Terminal Zone. The proposed location of the station is at Queens Boulevard and Skillman Avenue.
SUNNYSIDE, QUEENS — A proposed commuter rail station in Sunnyside that has long been dreamed about by transit advocates will now undergo a more formal study by the MTA, the agency revealed...
A new LIRR train station in Sunnyside on the west side of Queens Boulevard and Skillman Avenue: 20–21 along the Northeast Corridor (which the LIRR uses to get into Pennsylvania Station) has been proposed, which would provide one-stop access for area residents to Midtown Manhattan.

List of Long Island Rail Road stations. Schematic diagram of Long Island Rail Road services and stations. The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is a commuter railway system serving all four counties of Long Island, with two stations in the Manhattan borough of New York City in the U.S. state of New York.
As part of the East Side Access project to the new LIRR terminal at Grand Central Terminal (opened January 25, 2023), some LIRR trains diverge from the main line and travel through a tunnel under the yard. The project would also create a new station at Queens Boulevard, named Sunnyside .
Future stations. The MTA planned a new station in Sunnyside, Queens, once East Side Access was completed. The MTA later proposed in their 20-year needs assessment for 2025 to 2044 that Sunnyside station serve both the LIRR and the Metro-North Railroad, with the latter providing service to Penn Station after Penn Station Access is completed.
There are also plans to build a new station in the Queens neighborhood of Sunnyside, in between the New York terminals and the Woodside station, serving as a rail hub for all LIRR branches and potentially some Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains, as well.
The tracks carry Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Amtrak trains travelling to and from Penn Station and points to the north and east. The tracks also carry New Jersey Transit trains deadheading to Sunnyside Yard. They are part of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, used by trains traveling between New York City and New England via the Hell Gate Bridge.
It makes the most sense overall given the station is proposed to serve both railroads. The "LIRR" designation does signify it as an LIRR-led project and likely the owner of the station facilities, but if this is the case, then simply noting the Long Island Rail Road as the station owner should suffice.
