Arrochar station

Arrochar was a station on the demolished South Beach Branch of the Staten Island Railway.

It had two side platforms and two tracks and was located at Major Avenue.

[1] This station was abandoned when the SIRT discontinued passenger service on the South Beach Branch to Wentworth Avenue at midnight on March 31, 1953, because of city-operated bus competition.

[1][2][3][4] The station was fully demolished when the toll plaza of the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge was built near the same location.

The location where McClean Avenue used to bridge over the right-of-way, which was built in 1936, has been filled in some time after 1964 for the construction of houses along the right-of-way, and the bridge can still be detected by the cement in the middle of McClean Avenue.
