Sailors' Snug Harbor is a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway[1]. It has two tracks and two side platforms. It was closed on March 31, 1953 along with all other stations on the North Shore Branch. It is located in the Livingston section of Staten Island, north of Richmond Terrace. The two stairways leading down to the station and dock, and the retaining wall between the stairways, inscribed as "Sailors Snug Harbor" still stand today. Another retaining wall inscribed as "S. S. Harbor" and ramp stand about 700 ft (200 m) east of here[2]. The northern of the two tracks has been taken up and the way between these two points paved for recreational use.

One track has become a short Greenway; the other is abandoned in place
