Oakwood Heights is a Staten Island Railway train station in the neighborhood of Oakwood, Staten Island, New York. It is located on an open cut at Guyon Avenue and Railroad Avenue on the main line. It has an island platform and beige colorered walls. The year as to when this station, being the last one to be grade separated, was realigned to its current form of an open cut station is still being disputed. While most people believe it was 1965 as that was the year the others station in the railway were relocated to their current locations, the year engraved on the stationhouse at the south end by Guyon Avenue exit says it was built in 1963. The north end has an overpass bridge with two exits, one to Oak Ave on northbound platform side, and the other to Cedarview Avenue the southbound platform side. This station is used frequently by students of the nearby Monsignor Farrell High School.
