Station layout
The station opened in 1937.[lower-alpha 1] Prior to 1965, the Jefferson Avenue crossing was at grade level. It only had a single warning bell for approaching trains. In the mid-1960s construction began on eliminating the crossings from Jefferson Avenue to New Dorp. The track was displaced onto South Railroad Avenue and the station as well as the crossing were temporarily relocated to Adams Avenue. Jefferson Avenue and the adjacent intersections were dropped below grade and the current station was built.
Currently, the station is located on an embankment at Jefferson Avenue and Railroad Avenue on the main line. This station has two side platforms. From north to south, Jefferson Avenue station begins the descent from the embankment to the open cut.
This is the only station on the Staten Island Railway that is named for the street it serves rather than the neighborhood.[1]

- The opening date for this station can be approximated using contemporaneous maps and tickets. This ticket from 1935[lower-alpha 2] shows that the Jefferson Avenue station has not yet opened. A map of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway Company dated to January 11, 1937 shown here:[lower-alpha 3] does not show the Old Town, Jefferson Avenue or Lake Avenue stations. However,[lower-alpha 4] another map with the same date shows these stations with a few additional modifications. It seems that the second map was a revised version of the first one. Presumably it was printed to correct the old information, which did not show these stations. Finally, this ticket from 1938:[lower-alpha 5] does show the station.
