My guess is that there is a corresponding westbound platform on the north side of the new elevated structure. The platform does look old.

Maybe it's time to play "Where isn't this"...

The key things to consider are:

A - Next station to the west must be visible.
B - Next station to the west must have been elevated at the same time.
C - Next station to the west must be an island platform
D - Power lines must be on the south side of the elevated structure.
E - Tracks going west must be relatively straight.

Here's the list of LIRR stations that it could be -- i.e. stations that were elevated and electrified prior to the M-1's coming on the scene. Next to each, I've placed the letters A-D to show which of the above 4 criteria are not satisfied by the station.

Laurelton -- C
Rosedale -- E
St. Albans -- A, C
Springfield Gardens -- A
Valley Stream -- A, D
Lynbrook -- A, D
Rockville Centre -- A, D
Baldwin -- A, D
Freeport -- A, D
Wantagh -- B, D
Seaford -- D
Massapequa -- B, D
Babylon -- A
Bellerose -- C
Floral Park -- ??
