Talk:South Beach Branch

Midland Beach terminal postcard
Any opinions on where this is? My quick check fails to find a terminal in this neighborhood. Jim.henderson (talk) 11:52, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd guess it's the Wentworth Avenue terminal, or maybe the South Beach station, both being closest to Midland Beach. A lot of the neighborhood names overlapped back in the day, and it's unfortunate the postcards aren't more detailed. If you (or I, or anyone) could find where that bridge and that water tower in the background were located, you would probably find out which station it was.Tdorante10 (talk) 03:11, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, several NYTimes articles refer to a "scenic" railway in Midland Beach, and wiki's own Staten Island Railway article talks about a Midland Beach railway outside of the SIRT which extended past the South Beach Branch to Midland Beach (via this source ). So it might not be on the South Beach branch at all. Tdorante10 (talk) 03:19, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * In other words this is an excursion railroad, like the ones that went to Coney Island and other beaches in Brooklyn, before they became rapid transit lines on the BRT? If that's the case, I removed the commons category of "Former Staten Island Railway stations." -User:DanTD (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
