Location

Melrose station (also known as Melrose–East 162nd Street station) is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, serving the Melrose neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City. It is located in an open cut beneath Park Avenue at its intersection with East 162nd Street. Since a major service increase that began as a pilot program in October 2016 and was made permanent in October 2017,^[3] train service at Melrose is similar in frequency to most Harlem Line stations, with trains stopping approximately every half-hour during rush hours and every hour all other times.

In 2023, the northbound platform was made accessible in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act thanks to the construction of a ramp that leads from East 162nd Street to the north end of the platform.
