Old Town is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Old Town, Staten Island, New York. It is located on an embankment at Railroad Avenue on the main line. It has two side platforms, and metal orange canopies and walls. The exit at the south end leads to Old Town Road while an additional staircase at the north end of the northbound platform leads to a roadway to Dawson Place and Oregon Road. Just south of this station, there is a spur that formerly served the press building of the Staten Island Advance newspaper that is nowadays used as a storage spur for ballast cars.
