A 41-year-old woman was struck and killed by a Long Island Rail Road train just west of the Bayside station Wednesday night, according to the MTA.

The woman, who wasn’t immediately identified, was hit by an eastbound train at about 11:30 p.m. as it was about to pull into the stop near Bell Boulevard, an LIRR spokesman said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what she was doing on the tracks.

The incident suspended service on the Port Washington line until 1:45 a.m.
