Harlem–148th Street is a station on the IRT Lenox Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, also sometimes called 148th Street–Lenox Terminal. Located at the intersection of 148th Street and Seventh Avenue in Harlem, it is served by the 3 train at all times except late nights, when replacement shuttle-bus service to the 135th Street station is provided.
This station is the northern terminal of the IRT Lenox Avenue Line and the 3 service. Next to the station is Lenox Yard, which is used for train storage and has no maintenance facility. The yard pre-dates the station, which was added in 1968 at a relatively low cost, since the yard and the track connection were already there. Formerly, the terminal was one station to the south, at 145th Street.
This is one of only four stations in the subway system that is not open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The others are 145th Street on the Lenox Avenue Line, and Fulton and Broad Streets on the BMT Nassau Street Line.
