Mariners' Harbor is a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway. It has two tracks and one island platform. It is located in an open cut. 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 Staten Island neighborhood of Mariners Harbor at Van Pelt Avenue about 4.6 miles (7.4 km) from the Saint George terminal. It is the western most station along the North Shore line which still stands today, although in ruins. There is a closed gate to it at Linden Avenue between Van Pelt Avenue and Maple Parkway.
