174th Street is an elevated station on the IRT White Plains Road Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 174th Street and Southern Boulevard in the Bronx, it is served by the 2 train (all times), and by the 5 train (all times except late nights and rush hours in the peak direction).

The station is built on a curve which results in a large gap between center doors and the platform. The gap is almost wide enough to need gap fillers. As of April 28, 2008, most of the stations gaps has been filled, during most weekday constructions.
