Richmond Valley

Description

Richmond Valley is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Richmond Valley, Staten Island, New York. Located at Richmond Valley Road and Amboy Road on the main line, the station is a mixture of open cut (below grade level) at the north end and grade level at the south end.Station layoutThe station opened on June 2, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Annadale to Tottenville.There are two side platforms and the station is orange color with the south overpass appearing to be an addition during a renovation. The north exit leads to Richmond Valley Road while the south exit leads to Amboy Road. Because of the short platform, only the first 3 cars in the direction of the train traveling can be platformed here. A grade crossing at Richmond Valley Road was removed in 1940.The Tottenville-bound track has a non-electrified spur that once ran all the way to the Arthur Kill. The spur was built in the mid-1920s and dubbed by the B&O as the West Shore Line. The B&O delivered building materials to the Outerbridge Crossing construction site near the Kill. Later on, the track served a small scrapyard owned by the Roselli Brothers. The track remains intact today all the way to Page Avenue. The switch at the spur is well kept and working.
