Nassau (Staten Island Railway station)
Nassau is a Staten Island Railway station located roughly between the neighborhoods of Tottenville (to the south) and Charleston (to the north), in Staten Island, New York.
==History==
The station opened in 1921, over sixty years after the opening of the 1860 opening of the Staten Island Railway from Annadale to Tottenville.〔 The station was named for the nearby Nassau Smelting & Refining Company, which extended the station to its current length in the 1970s.〔 The factory opened in 1882 as the Tottenville Copper Works and changed its name in 1931 to the Nassau Smelting & Refining Company. As a subsidiary of Bell Telephone System's Western Electric division, the factory recycled obsolete telephone equipment and manufactured copper wire and solder. It would later be called AT&T Nassau Metals. For more than 20 years the site was a vacant brownfield, until 2007, when the land was cleaned up and is now environmentally safe for future development.
The station extension was built on timber covered with asphalt. Nassau, along with the nearby Atlantic station (also built next to a factory) were not modernized in the 1990s along with the rest of the line, because of the proposed station at Arthur Kill Road which was set to replace both stations. Due to structural deterioration of the extension and lack of maintenance, on September 2, 2010 most of the station towards the eastern end was closed off. Construction on the replacement station, now simply called Arthur Kill, began in October 2013 and is set to open in April 2016.〔()〕〔〔
