Richmond Valley is a Staten Island Railway train station in the neighborhood of Richmond Valley, Staten Island, New York. Located at Richmond Valley Road and Amboy Road on the main linem, the station is a mixture of open cut (below grade level) at the north end and grade level at the south end. There are two side platforms and the station is orange color with the south overpass appearing to be an addition during the renovation. The north exit leads to Richmond Valley Road while the south exit leads to Amboy Road. Because of the short platform, only the first 3 cars in the direction of the train traveling can be platformed here. A grade crossing at Richmond Valley Road was removed in 1940. The Tottenville-bound track has a non-electrified spur that once ran all the way to the Arthur Kill. The spur was built in the mid 1920s and dubbed by the B&O as the West Shore Line. The B&O delivered building materials to the Outerbridge Crossing construction site near the Kill. There was also a small industry on the spur known as Roselli Bros. The track remains intact today all the way to Page Avenue. The switch at the spur is well kept and working.
