Thanks! Thanks for showing where I grew up from 1959 to 1973. Used to live in Eltingville. It was great seeing all the history of all the train stations. Have a great weekend 😎👍
Kill is an archaic Dutch word that basically means "creek" or "channel". So Great Kills references the area having a great number of streams! While the North Shore Branch closed in 1953, in 1957, Elizabeth II used the North Shore Branch as part of her journey from DC to NYC and took the Staten Island Ferry! Tottenville's Conference House is a place of historical significance when it comes to the American Revolution as it was the site of the Staten Island Peace Conference, an unsuccessful attempt to find a swift negotiated end to the revolution, which was hosted there by his heir and grandson, Colonel Christopher Billop, on September 11, 1776. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Edward Rutledge rowed over from patriot-held Perth Amboy and the meeting lasted for three hours, ending with the patriots politely declining the Howe's offer (Howe was only given the ability to issue pardons and amnesties), leading to another seven years of war. Huguenots are Protestants who fled persecution in France. Huguenots settled in the area in the 17th century and formed one of the first permanent settlements on Staten Island, led by Daniel Perrin (originally from the Channel Island of Jersey) who arrived in NY Harbor in 1665. New Dorp is an anglicization of Nieuw Dorp, meaning "New Village" in Dutch. New Dorp was founded in 1671 following the English resurveying the pre-existing Dutch settlement of Oude Dorp (now Old Town) and expanded the lots along the South Shore, which were then settled primarily by Dutch families. The new lots became known as Nieuwe Dorp in contrast to Oude Dorp (or "Old Village"). Stapleton got its name from a prominent early settler and landowner in the area, named Colonel William Staples, who acquired land from the Vanderbilts and laid out the streets. Staples and Minthorne Tompkins (son of Daniel D. Tompkins who was James Monroe's Vice President) started a ferry service from the neighborhood waterfront to Manhattan and began advertising their new village in 1836. For Dongan Hills, the name was changed to Dongan Hills from Garretson's to avoid confusion with Garrison-on-Hudson. The neighborhood was renamed for Thomas Dongan, the Irish-born governor of the Province of New York after the Kingdom of England acquired it from the Netherlands in 1682. The "hills" alluded to in the name are the eastern ridge of Todt Hill, the highest natural point in NYC, and the highest elevation on the entire Atlantic coastal plain from Florida to Cape Cod
If you're wondering if they're gonna use that North Shore Branch again, they are! The MTA is turning the right-of-way from St. George to Arlington into BRT (they once considered light-rail too) as part of a BRT route from St. George to West Shore Plaza. You missed out on seeing the platform at the former BallPark station! It still exists, you went right by the former entrance to the station at 26:20! If you stopped your e-scooter at that Hamilton Ave intersection and looked down next to the path to the Staten Island September 11 Memorial, you would've seen the platform! They still have signs that point to the Ballpark station. But yeah, the station only opened in 2001 and lasted until 2010. It opened on June 24, 2001, in conjunction with the Staten Island Yankees baseball season and thus only operated between June and September during the season. Due to a budget crisis, this station was closed on June 18, 2010, the date of the first scheduled home game of the season, but trains last served the station in September 2009. The SI Yankees team itself stopped operations in 2020, replaced by the Staten Island FerryHawks. The ballpark was renamed Staten Island University Hospital Community Park in 2022. When I was a kid, my uncle would take us from Jersey City over to Staten Island to visit Snug Harbor for the children's museum and botanical garden there! It's a neat gem! While Sailors' Snug Harbor opened in 1886, the buildings there were built between 1831 and 1833. Sailors' Snug Harbor was founded as a retirement home for sailors after Captain Robert Richard Randall bequeathed funds for that purpose upon his 1801 death. The buildings became a cultural center after the sailors' home moved away in 1976. Sailors' Snug Harbor includes 26 Greek Revival, Beaux Arts, Italianate and Victorian style buildings! The grounds and buildings are operated by Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, a nonprofit, Smithsonian-affiliated organization.
The only part of Staten Island Railway that I rode was between St George and Eltingville. I need to take the SIR pass Eltingville to Tottenville one day. Great history lesson. My uncle used to live in New Dorp 11:30
In the 1990s, on weekends Nassau was a flag stop. You had to let the SIRT conductor know you wanted to get off there and he’d open one-half of one set of doors to let you off. On the way back to St. George, you’d literally have to flag the train down or it wouldn’t stop to pick you up, even if you were on the platform. The conductor schooled me on this as I was a North Shore boy going to desperately needed AA meetings and needed a Sunday meeting. Glad he told me as I’d have never known to flag a train down in NYC 😂
But...will it take longer than the video about the abandoned City Hall station? Oh, wait...that video is still not out despite it being filmed back in late February. And whatever happened with the footage from the NY Transit Museum in Brooklyn? You have quite a lot to post in the future...hopefully!
for the mount lorretto orphanage branch, its terminus was actually pleasant plains. i believe that track in between pleasant plains and prince's bay (i guess) was for the train to go back to pleasant plains so that kids that were at pleasant plains could go back to the orphanage. edit: i got some more info: the spur diverged from the main line south of pleasant plains station. the branch was a little over a mile long and had a 2% grade. the right-of-way from the amboy road grade crossing to Mount Loretto was owned by the archdiocese of new york, and was not open to the public. mount loretto paid for any necessary track maintenance, which was provided by the SIRT. the stop was called the mission station and was located near cunningham road.
Earlier Last Month (September) I saw an R211s passing by...... but they were doing their "R211s Testing Train" testing out the announcements, Open & Close the doors but Right Now there is ONLY ☝🏽 @ Clifton Maintance Shop (Right Now.. they are still getting more deliveries 👍🏽)
This was such a cool video! I've always been curious about visiting Staten Island and riding its Rapid Transit rail line one day. Personally, I think restoring the North Shore branch as part of the Staten Island Railway would be a great idea even if they may still not be able to allow service to Port Ivory. And if the MTA is able to figure out a way to build a branch of the IBX to St. George and maybe an extension of the R Train from 95th Street into the borough parallel to the VNB and along the Staten Island Expressway, that would be even better! Of course, the ferry from Manhattan should still exist, but I feel that Staten Island is underrated and deserves more rail service, especially if it makes it easier to access the other four boroughs. Also, I entirely agree with you, because what that person did with that remnant of the South Beach Branch in their backyard was amazing! I wish I had something like that in my backyard that would allow me to do something similar!
Going to try in a couple of weeks to "step" at every SIR station, going to be fun because the conductors leave the doors open for like 4-5 seconds and the next train is 15 minutes away...
The stairs at Snug Harbor are indeed original and date from the late 1800s or early 20th Century. The North Shore line opened in the 1880s and was completely rebuilt in the 1930s before closing 20 years later 😢
I admire you for doing this. The half dozen or so times I've taken the SIR, I've found it just about the most boring transit in metro NYC. When nothing is underground, you'd think there would be a nice view, but just about everything is blocked by the trees. It's also ridiculously long between trains that you spend more time waiting than on the train.
The SIR is pretty boring, yes. But that's why I visited all the sites of the former South Beach and North Shore branches. Made it WAY more interesting... for me anyway.
Hey Suprtoe! Its a real shame those rollsigns are gone (vandalism), however, the R211S will be going into service soon! And a heads up, the R211A has officially entered service on the C line.
Gogosuprtoe may be the biggest fan from WV. For my request, you take the 1 from 50th St S from times to grand central 7 to 5th av. B to B-LAF or for my suggestion BB for bleeker Broadway 6 to Grand central. S to times square 3,to chambers 1 to south ferry R to court st. 2 to Wall Street station
A request for you is to do the Q17 my home route but in trains. Do The (Q) from 14 St-Union Square to 57 St-7 Av, and walk to 59 St-Columbus City and Ride the (1) to 42 St. Then take the (7) to flushing, and take the Q17 bus to Jamaica 179 St Station
Ok Supertoe, get ready for a rhyme here and use my request! Start with the B Train from 145 St to 125 St. Next, take the A Train from 125 St to 59th Street Colombus Circle. Then, take the C Train from 59th St to 42nd St Port Authority Bus Terminal. Then, take the Q Train from Times Square 42nd to 57 St 7th Avenue. Finally, take the N Train from 57 St 7th Avenue to Lexington Ave 59th St Now you know it's called Bacon, hope you except my request
I'll probably talk a little about that on the Explore the Urbans mini-doc (eventually). Unfortunately there's not a lot of visual evidence to go along with it.
GoGosuprtoe can you make trains only L train to broadway junction and then C train to 168 at and then A train to 181 st and then the R train to Atlantic Ave barcys center and then D train to coney island pls
Gogosuprtoe. When you ride staten island railway from author kill station you see the the wood that was under the new rocks , you see where the platform was if you imagined and that structure you say it was put of where the original Nassau st and Atlantic st station. This the information you need . Bye 👋
I have a new all trains route- Start at Beach 98th Street, at,e the shuttle to Broad Channel, take the A train to Howard Beach , AirTrain to Federal Circle, then the Jamaica AirTrain to Jamaica, change for the J train to Woodhaven Blvd (If you can, take the Z train to Broadway Junction but if you can’t, stay on the J until Broadway Junction.) at Bway Junction take the L train to Myrtle-Wykoff, take the M train to Lorimer St, do the walking connection to the G at Broadway, then take the G to Court Sq, take the 7 train to Grand Central, take Metro-North to Harlem-125th Street , change for the 4 train to 86th, then the 6 train to 59th, then the 5 train back to Grand Central, then take the shuttle to Times Sq, take the N train to 34th St-Herald Sq , then the F train to West 4th, change for the D train to 7th Av. Transfer for the E train to 42nd St, change for the C back down to West 4th, take the B train to DeKalb, then take the R to Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr, then take the Q train to Prospect Park, then take the Franklin Av Shuttle to Botanic Garden, take the 2 train to Bergen Street, then transfer to the 3 train to Chambers Street, then take the 1 train to Times Sq, then take the W train to Queensboro Plaza, and that’s it!
Supertoe maybe you could also try taking these trains: Start at Richmond Valley Take the SIR to Annadale Take the SIM1C to 57 St The F to 179 St The Q3 to JFK The J to Essex St The M to W 4 St The A to Broad Channel The S to Beach 98 St
I watch this video everyday. Thinking about Asking “MTA” To Bring the South beach & North Shore. Back For the People That need to get to St George Faster
Never gonna happen. As you can see, the South Beach branch is covered with homes and the North Shore line east of Port Richmond is either in private hands or has completely fallen into the Kill Van Kull.
Yeah I know. Problem is I had assumed it was part of the North Shore branch, so I assumed it was gone. I didn't realize until editing that I should have researched that one a bit more. Next trip maybe.
I’ve actually been to every station on the Staten Island railway. I did it in four segments. 1. St. George to Grant city 2. Tompkinsville to great kills 3. Eltingville. 4. Annadale to Tottenville. This was not the most efficient way to do it I know, but it’s how I did it anyway. I did it for the bragging rights and to explore. New Dorp and Jefferson Avenue have pretty dense development around them
Spell R 2 1 1 I'll do it as 1, stop transfers Start at either 49th Street or 34th Street Herald Square take the (R)to Times Square 42nd Street Then take the (2) to 72nd Street then take the (1) to 79th then another (1) to 86th street.
According to Wikipedia, "kill" is derived from the Middle Dutch word "Kille" for body of water, most often a creek, but also inlets, straits, rivers, etc. There were lots of Dutch settlers in the Hudson River area in very early America. Thanks for showing the work train. Cheers from Wisconsin!
The South Beach branch closed in 1953 but the homes along the old ROW didn’t appear until the 1980s and ‘90s. Arrochar is a Scottish name pronounced “Arrow-car.” Vanderbilt’s Landing was the original terminal when the SIRR opened in 1860. Cornelius Vanderbilt ran his ferry to Manhattan from here until the ferry terminal was moved to St. George in the late 1800s. The SIRR was thus extended north to meet the ferries.

Where the Fort Wadsworth station used to be is literally a minute away from my house!
Nice!
Supertoe is awesome, can’t wait for this history lesson about Staten Island
Loved the video, one of another transit youtubers I follow, has just posted the r211s first day in service in Staten Island.
Supertoe do more videos like this PLEASE😁

Thank you for this video my friend enjoyed!
Wow! I was waiting for this video when you teased that you were going to make it last year. I can't wait for the history video on the other channel.
So so so good! Off to Explore the Urbans...
Cool! But it’ll be a little while before I can get the mini doc up over there
But...will it take longer than the video about the abandoned City Hall station? Oh, wait...that video is still not out despite it being filmed back in late February.

Can't Wait!
I wonder if he found an R211S
Earlier Last Month (September) I saw an R211s passing by...... but they were doing their "R211s Testing Train" testing out the announcements, Open & Close the doors but Right Now there is ONLY ☝🏽 @ Clifton Maintance Shop
(Right Now.. they are still getting more deliveries 👍🏽)
I know that the R211S are still testing
He saw 100-104.
To: SuprToe:
There is another R211S set. It is 105-109.
I agree with @HelloMeetsRick. It IS about time you caught the R211 C train.
I love this man Suprtoe! Keep up the great work tysm for the entertainment
Thank you!

*15:04* That's where I live in the South Beach Area 😄😄
Cool!
Amazing video! I really cannot wait to see more videos like this! I was also just wondering, what's your camera setup?
I just use a DJI Action 3 camera and an extension poll.
great live video supertoe!
I love your channel and videos
Thanks my friend!
Going to try in a couple of weeks to "step" at every SIR station, going to be fun because the conductors leave the doors open for like 4-5 seconds and the next train is 15 minutes away...
Never Been To Staten Island 🏝 Before And I Will Love ❤️ To Ride On The Train 🚆
We have an arrochar station in Scotland, called Arrochar and Tarbet, on the West Highland lind, we pronounce it ArrowCar
Yo I live near new dorp That’s so cool w vid
Nice to meet you 🤝
23:41
It is now confirmed that 422 was also retired.

Kill is Dutch for river or creek. Lots of old Dutch names on Staten Island. Dorp is Dutch for town. Old Town used to be called Oude Dorp.
yo, one question, where is ur intro song from its rlly cool
"Eyes on You" I think
you should do all busses in the bronx
A couple of days ago I got a close look at the r211s in St. George terminal when just sitting there with MTA workers running around inside. 25:05
this is going to be fun! i wonder what secrets he found? since it says "past stations" too
Hey Suprtoe! Its a real shame those rollsigns are gone (vandalism), however, the R211S will be going into service soon! And a heads up, the R211A has officially entered service on the C line.
Not vandalism, the mechanics to the signs just broke.
Gogosuprtoe may be the biggest fan from WV. For my request, you take the 1 from 50th St S from times to grand central 7 to 5th av. B to B-LAF or for my suggestion BB for bleeker Broadway 6 to Grand central. S to times square 3,to chambers 1 to south ferry R to court st. 2 to Wall Street station
Hey supertoe! Loved this video do you know if the R160B is still in service?? (Also whats the name of your intro?)
The music for the intro is called "Eyes on You" i think. I assume the R160B is still in service? I've never been able to tell A and B apart, honestly.
A request for you is to do the Q17 my home route but in trains. Do The (Q) from 14 St-Union Square to 57 St-7 Av, and walk to 59 St-Columbus City and Ride the (1) to 42 St. Then take the (7) to flushing, and take the Q17 bus to Jamaica 179 St Station
Suprtoe day 2 of asking suprtoe to catch the R211A on the C line
My man brought back the OG Songs between 2016-2019 man 🥲
Ok Supertoe, get ready for a rhyme here and use my request!
Start with the B Train from 145 St to 125 St.
Next, take the A Train from 125 St to 59th Street Colombus Circle.
Then, take the C Train from 59th St to 42nd St Port Authority Bus Terminal.
Then, take the Q Train from Times Square 42nd to 57 St 7th Avenue.
Finally, take the N Train from 57 St 7th Avenue to Lexington Ave 59th St
Now you know it's called Bacon, hope you except my request
You should do Queens Next
You should do the buses in Staten Island bro
Hey supertoe is back again
Sorry GoGoSupetoe that I missed this live stream because I was playing with my friend Abel
NBD hope you watched the vid tho!
Ok
14:30 I thought you would have said something about the Burger King on burgher avenue.😅
Yooo supertoe!! How u been?
👍
Did u Know: The R211S Are now Testing on the Stand Island railway? Now people can get in
7:52 The track goes to a parking lot it might have went to the orphanage
Talk about the Staten Island tunnel that never happened…. They started in Brooklyn and stopped …. It’s supposedly over owl’s head park.
I'll probably talk a little about that on the Explore the Urbans mini-doc (eventually). Unfortunately there's not a lot of visual evidence to go along with it.
GoGosuprtoe can you make trains only L train to broadway junction and then C train to 168 at and then A train to 181 st and then the R train to Atlantic Ave barcys center and then D train to coney island pls
He kept his promise (I don’t think he promised but he said he’d do this lol)
Gogosuprtoe. When you ride staten island railway from author kill station you see the the wood that was under the new rocks , you see where the platform was if you imagined and that structure you say it was put of where the original Nassau st and Atlantic st station. This the information you need
. Bye 👋
I have a new all trains route- Start at Beach 98th Street, at,e the shuttle to Broad Channel, take the A train to Howard Beach , AirTrain to Federal Circle, then the Jamaica AirTrain to Jamaica, change for the J train to Woodhaven Blvd (If you can, take the Z train to Broadway Junction but if you can’t, stay on the J until Broadway Junction.) at Bway Junction take the L train to Myrtle-Wykoff, take the M train to Lorimer St, do the walking connection to the G at Broadway, then take the G to Court Sq, take the 7 train to Grand Central, take Metro-North to Harlem-125th Street , change for the 4 train to 86th, then the 6 train to 59th, then the 5 train back to Grand Central, then take the shuttle to Times Sq, take the N train to 34th St-Herald Sq , then the F train to West 4th, change for the D train to 7th Av.

Take the SIM1C to 57 St
The F to 179 St
The Q3 to JFK
The J to Essex St
The M to W 4 St

11:03 umm, suprtoe idk about nighttime, um its really dark…
I watch this video everyday. Thinking about Asking “MTA” To Bring the South beach & North Shore. Back For the People That need to get to St George Faster
Never gonna happen. As you can see, the South Beach branch is covered with homes and the North Shore line east of Port Richmond is either in private hands or has completely fallen into the Kill Van Kull.
Too bad I already visited all states Island stations before u HA!😂
You didn’t post it so doesn’t count 👀
Can you do all trains in toronto?
Someday
Well you miss the big spot of the ballpark station it was underground station still exist and abandoned.
Yeah I know. Problem is I had assumed it was part of the North Shore branch, so I assumed it was gone. I didn't realize until editing that I should have researched that one a bit more. Next trip maybe.
@SuprToe I heard they use the track at that station now to store locomotives. When the station got abandoned they cut off the power on the tracks too
no way bro came to the island😭🙏🏼
SI has the BEST railroad ruins!
I’ve actually been to every station on the Staten Island railway. I did it in four segments.
1. St. George to Grant city
2. Tompkinsville to great kills
3. Eltingville.
4. Annadale to Tottenville.
This was not the most efficient way to do it I know, but it’s how I did it anyway. I did it for the bragging rights and to explore.

According to Wikipedia, "kill" is derived from the Middle Dutch word "Kille" for body of water, most often a creek, but also inlets, straits, rivers, etc. There were lots of Dutch settlers in the Hudson River area in very early America. Thanks for showing the work train. Cheers from Wisconsin!

The South Beach branch closed in 1953 but the homes along the old ROW didn’t appear until the 1980s and ‘90s. Arrochar is a Scottish name pronounced “Arrow-car.” Vanderbilt’s Landing was the original terminal when the SIRR opened in 1860. Cornelius Vanderbilt ran his ferry to Manhattan from here until the ferry terminal was moved to St. George in the late 1800s. The SIRR was thus extended north to meet the ferries.
