Edgerton Park is a former Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station located in Rochester, New York. It was named after Edgerton Park, about 300 feet (90 m) away, where the Monroe Country Fair was held each September. The station was closed in 1956, along with the rest of the line.[1] Until summer 1938 the station had been named Felix Street.[2] Other destinations at the station included Edgerton Park Arena.
Immediately north of the station, there was City of Rochester siding which serviced facilities that still exist in the area. Farther north, towards Emerson station, there was a surface freight spur line running north along Dewey Avenue to Kodak Park.[1]
