Bachmann was a station on the demolished South Beach Branch of the Staten Island Railway. It had two tracks and two side platforms. It was closed in 1937 due in part to its proximity to the Rosebank station and the fact that the Bachmann's Brewery had already burned down in 1881. The rest of the South Beach Branch was abandoned in 1953, well after the closure of the Bachmann station.
The station was located east of Tompkins Avenue, between Lyndhurst Avenue & Chestnut Avenue.
