TheOld Town station is aStaten Island Railway station in the neighborhood ofOld Town,Staten Island,New York.

History

[edit]

The station opened toward the beginning of 1937,[1][2][4] likely during a grade crossing elimination project. The original name of the station was "Old Town Road"; the "Road" was dropped soon after theMetropolitan Transportation Authority assumed control of the Staten Island Railway from theBaltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1971 (the MTA concurrently shortened the name of theHuguenot Park station to simply "Huguenot").

Station layout

[edit]
Southbound stair

The station is located on an embankment at Railroad Avenue on the main line. It has twoside platforms, and metal orange canopies and walls. Just north of this station, a spur that had multiple purposes and served the press building of theStaten Island Advance newspaper is nowadays used as a storage spur forballast cars.

  1. ^The opening date for this station can be approximated using contemporaneous maps and tikets. This ticket from 1935[1] shows that the Old Town station has not yet opened. A map of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway Company dated to January 11, 1937 shown here:[2] does not show the Old Town, Jefferson Avenue or Lake Avenue stations. However,[3] another map with the same date shows these stations with a few additional modifications. It seems that the second map was a revised version of the first one. Presumably it was printed to correct the old information, which did not show these stations. Finally, this ticket from 1938:[4] does show the station.
