Tower Hill is a station on the abandoned North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway. It has two tracks and two side platforms. It closed on March 31, 1953, along with the South Beach Branch and the rest of the North Shore Branch. It is located on a trestle in the Tower Hill section of Staten Island, between the Port Richmond and Elm Park neighborhoods. The station lies between Treadwell and Sharpe Avenues about 3.4 miles (5.5 km) from the Saint George terminal. It is one of the few stations along the North Shore line still standing, although in ruins.
