Pelham Bay Park is the northern terminal of the IRT Pelham Line of the New York City Subway. Located by Pelham Bay Park, at the intersection of the Bruckner Expressway and Westchester Avenue in the Bronx, it is served by the 6 train at all times
This is an elevated station which has two tracks, one island platform and two side platforms. The side platforms, which are no longer used, may have been used for unloading passengers, with the center island platform used for loading. In 2005, work commenced to build rooms on the side platforms for temporary crew use while the crew quarters at the north end of the station are rebuilt. At the south end is a staff-only crossover bridge between the center and west side platform. It also used to connect to the east side platform but that portion has been removed. At the north end of the platforms are the track bumper blocks and a crew quarters area. There is also a tower and crew facilities at the south end. Fare control is in the mezzanine. There are old style signs which are covered over on the main platform.
