Arlington was a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway, in Staten Island, New York. Located in an open-cut 5.2 miles (8.4 km) from the St. George Terminal,[3] it had two tracks and one island platform.[4] For a few years before its closure in 1953, it was the western (railroad direction south) terminus of the North Shore Line;[4] before then, the terminus was the Port Ivory station to the west, though most trains terminated at Arlington.[5][6] It was located in the Arlington and Mariners Harbor sections of Staten Island, near the Arlington Yard, under the South Avenue overpass, between Arlington Place and Brabant Street.[4]
