The Livingston station is a former station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway.[3] Located north of Richmond Terrace at Bard Avenue in the Livingston section of Staten Island, it had two tracks and two side platforms.[3] The site is 1.8 miles (2.9 km) from the Saint George terminal.[4] Closed in 1953, the station was demolished, with few remnants of the site today.[5][6]
