Atlantic is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Tottenville, Staten Island, New York.

History

The station's exact opening date is not certain, but it is known that the station opened between 1909[1] and 1921.[2] The station gets its name from the former Atlantic Terra Cotta factory, which was located near the station.[4][5]

This and the Nassau station are being replaced in April 2016 by a new ADA-accessible station stop lying between the two stations, named Arthur Kill.[5][3] The unrenovated Atlantic and Nassau stations are the only visual remains of a time when the SIRT built new platforms in the 1960s during a multi-phase grade elimination project farther north but without adding new canopies or shelters at these stops.

Located roughly at Fisher Avenue and Arthur Kill Road on the main line, it is at grade level with side platforms that can hold only one car. Only the last car of a train goes to the platform. Access to the northbound platform is via the short dead-end Tracy Avenue off of Arthur Kill Road between Fisher and Wood Avenues, while the southbound platform is reached from an entrance on Ellis Street. An overpass links both platforms. One can see the original, pre-1990s SIRT station components on this line—steel corrugated walls, overpasses and original 4-foot (1.2 m)-high station pipe railings with faded signs.
