Eltingville is an elevated Staten Island Railway train station in the neighborhood of Eltingville, Staten Island, New York. It is located at Richmond Avenue on the main line. It contains two side platforms, orange canopies and walls, and staircases at the western end only that lead to Richmond Avenue. The northbound platform contains another exit on the eastern end that leads to Eltingville Boulevard. It is a transfer point for local buses to the Staten Island Mall, located two miles north of this station, as well as express buses to Manhattan. The stationhouse at Richmond Avenue is at street level and once featured a signal lamp that alerted those waiting that a train was arriving. On the exterior of this stationhouse is a plaque noting the Great Kills to Huguenot grade separation project was done under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration.
[edit] Bus Connection
It is the southbound, not the northbound, platform that has the stairway leading to Eltingville Boulevard.
