Pleasant Plains is an elevated Staten Island Railway train station in the neighborhood of Pleasant Plains, Staten Island, New York. Located at Penton Street and Amboy Road on the main line, it has two side platforms and orange canopies. The north exit leads to Amboy Road via a convert|75|ft|m|sing=on long passage and steps. Parts of the old northbound platforms are visible and can be viewed from either side at the north end of this station; wooden boards and concrete are evidence of this. North of the station is another set of crossovers and the right-of-way of a spur that formerly served "Mount Loretto". The B&O served the Mt. Loretto non-electrified branch until 1950, which had some industry and a passenger station. The track was removed in the 60s and 70s with some ties were visible until the 80s. A coal dump trestle is all that remains, located behind the powerhouse.
