Staten Island Railway

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Staten Island Railway (SIR) is a railway system that operates in the borough of Staten Island, New York City. It is owned by the New York City Transit Authority, an agency of Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

History

The Staten Island Railway was established in 1860 as the Staten Island Railroad. It was later reorganized as the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway in 1880, before finally being renamed to its current name in 1948.

Operations

The Staten Island Railway operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing public transportation to the residents of Staten Island. The line has a total of 22 stations, running from St. George Terminal to Tottenville. The railway primarily serves the eastern portion of Staten Island, with a single line running down the island's east coast.

Infrastructure

The Staten Island Railway operates on a standard gauge track, with a total length of approximately 14 miles. The railway's rolling stock consists of R44 subway cars, which were originally designed for the New York City Subway.

Future Developments

There are plans to extend the Staten Island Railway to the West Shore of Staten Island. This proposed West Shore Line would provide additional transportation options for residents in the western part of the island.
