Melrose (Metro-North station)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Melrose Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Melrose section of The Bronx via the Harlem Line. It is 6.1 miles (9.8 km) from Grand Central Terminal and is located in an open cut beneath Park Avenue near its intersection near 162th Street, not far from Yankee Stadium. Service at Melrose is very limited; every 30 minutes peak hours, every two hours otherwise. This station (along with Tremont) is currently going through a station rehabilitation. Normally, when trains stop at this station, only the first car or first two cars open its doors.

This station is the first/last station in the Zone 2 Metro-North fare zone, and is the first/last station of the CityTicket inter-city ticket zone.
