Grasmere is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Grasmere, Staten Island, New York. It is located at Clove Road on the main line. This station has the original brick station house from the 1933 grade separation project over the Tottenville-bound track at the south end of the line. The building is open only during the morning rush hour. The platform is located on an open cut and has glass block and concrete windscreens attached to the canopy supports; the only exit is at the east end of the station. The Grasmere crossover, consisting of two manual switches, is located just past the Fingerboard Road overpass north of the station. North of this station, the line merges with the abandoned South Beach branch. The South Beach and the North Shore branch lines were abandoned in 1953 due to poor ridership and better bus service in Staten Island. The South Beach Branch line was a two-track line serving six stations along Staten Island’s eastern shore. This station connects to the S53 bus to Brooklyn.
