Morris Heights station (also known as Morris Heights–West 177th Street station) is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, serving the Morris Heights neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City. It is 8.1 miles (13.0 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately 17 minutes.
The station is located in the narrow strip of land between the Major Deegan Expressway and the Harlem River, next to Roberto Clemente State Park. It is also located across from the Dr Roland N. Patterson School complex, which was built over the tracks between the bridges for Harlem River Park Drive and West Tremont Avenue.
The station has operated since the days of the Spuyten Duyvil and Port Morris Railroad as well as the New York and Putnam Railroad late in the 19th century, though not in its present form.[1]
Station layout[]
The station has one narrow, 4-car-long high-level island platform[2]: 1 accessible from West Tremont Avenue (West 177th Street).[citation needed]
