West New Brighton is a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway. It had two side platforms and two tracks. It closed on March 31, 1953. It was located in the West New Brighton section of Staten Island, north of Richmond Terrace between North Burgher Avenue and Broadway. It was 2.4 miles (3.9 km) from the Saint George terminus. Its location on private property has made it difficult to restore service on the North Shore Branch line. The tracks have been removed and the former right of way has been paved for truck use by a dockyard along the Kill Van Kull.
