The Tremont (also known as Tremont – East 177th Street) Metro-North Railroad station serves the Tremont section of the Bronx via the Harlem Line. It is 7.9 miles (12.7 km) from Grand Central Terminal and is in an open cut at the intersection of Park Avenue and East Tremont Avenue (East 177th Street). Service at Tremont is limited; trains stop every 30 minutes during rush hours, every hour otherwise. This station is in the Zone 2 Metro-North fare zone.
When Tremont station was originally built by the New York Central Railroad in the late-19th Century, it contained a station house as a bridge over all four tracks. Similar structures were built for the former Melrose Station as well as the former Morrisania Station. The station house was torn down in September 1999, but the platforms and staircases leading to the East Tremont Avenue bridge remain.
Station layout
The station has two high-level side platforms, each two cars long, reached by stairway from East Tremont Avenue. When trains stop at this station, normally the front two open cars receive and discharge passengers.
