The Wakefield (also known as Wakefield – East 241st Street) Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Wakefield section of The Bronx via the Harlem Line, and it is the last station on the line before it crosses into Westchester County, New York. It is 12.6 miles (20 km) from Grand Central Terminal and is located on East 241st Street. Service at Wakefield is hourly.
This station is the first/last station in the Zone 2 Metro-North fare zone, and is the first/last station of the CityTicket intra-city ticket zone.
Though there is no direct connecting service at the station, six blocks from the station is the Wakefield – 241st Street station (2 train) on the IRT White Plains Road Line of the New York City Subway (the northernmost station in the system).
This station has two high-level island platforms, each four cars long and accessible by stairway from the north side of East 241st Street. Because of these short platform lengths, only four cars can receive and discharge passengers at the station. Depending on the time of day and direction of train, it is generally either the front four or rear four cars.
The western platform, adjacent to Tracks 2 and 4, is generally used by southbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Tracks 1 and 3, is generally used by northbound or Westchester County-bound trains.
