Stapleton is a Staten Island Railway Station serviced by local trains on the two track line, with a single narrow island platform on an elevated viaduct held up by concrete pillars built in 1936. This elevated viaduct is over a private ROW (like the entirety of the SIR) with chain-link fencing topped by barbed wire to discourage access under the elevator for loitering and illegal dumping.
This island platform is completely covered by a simple canopy structure held up by steel pillars painted orange, there are also a couple corrugated windscreens (painted orange) at a couple of places on the platform. The platform has a single staircase for entrances down to streets at either end of the platform. The southern end leads to the north sidewalk of Water Street, the northern to the southern sidewalk of Prospect Street, both entrances are between Bay Street and Front Street.
