The Grant City station is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Grant City, Staten Island, New York.
The station opened on April 23, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Vanderbilt's Landing to Eltingville.[2] Prior to 1965, the Grant City station was at grade level. In 1964, construction began on eliminating the crossings from Jefferson Avenue to New Dorp. The tracks were displaced onto South Railroad Avenue and the station was relocated during the construction.[3]
Currently, the station is located on an open cut at Lincoln Avenue and Railroad Avenue on the main line. It has two side platforms and aqua green walls.
There are two exits; the main exit at the south end leads to Lincoln Avenue and has brick a station house on street level. There are two benches inside the station house. The secondary exit at the middle of this station leads to Fremont Avenue on both sides with an overpass to connect both platforms.
