Staten Island Railway Grade Separation History

Quick question: Does anybody have a resource that would tell me when the different portions of the Staten Island Railway were grade-separated? I think the North Shore branch might've been grade-separated back in the 1920s when it was electrified, and I see the date "1937" on the overpass at Eltingville, which suggests that part of the Main Line was grade-separated as a public works project.

Except that it lists the last grade separation project as being Grant City, New Dorp, Oakwood Heights. That is incorrect. It was Jefferson Avenue, Grant City, New Dorp.

Picture of the grade crossing work at Jefferson Avenue athttp://thethirdrail.net/0201/sirt14.html.
