Livingston is a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway.[2] It had two tracks and two side platforms.[2] It was abandoned on March 31, 1953, along with the South Beach Branch and the rest of the North Shore Branch. It is located in the Livingston section of Staten Island, north of Richmond Terrace at Bard Avenue. It is 1.8 miles (2.9 km) from the Saint George terminal. The northern of the two tracks has been taken up. Due to coastal erosion, part of the station site has slid into Kill Van Kull along with some of the trackage east and west of here.
