Willis Avenue (IRT elevated station)
Willis Avenue was an elevated rapid transit station of the Willis Avenue Spur that branched off of the IRT Third Avenue Line. It opened in 1886 and closed in 1924. The next and only stop to the south was 129th Street station in Manhattan.
==History==
Willis Avenue station was opened on November 25, 1886 as a connecting spur to the Harlem River and Port Chester Railroad's Harlem River Terminal Station. The HR&PC was chartered 20 years earlier and operated trains owned by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The station was located next to the 133rd Street Yard, and served both the Second and Third Avenue line trains. The spur ran from the 129th Street Station in Manhattan across the Harlem River Bridge, thereby creating two separate transportation hubs on both sides of the Harlem River. By 1912, the station would also begin to serve the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, an interurban line serving the Bronx and Southern Westchester County. Despite the name the railroad never actually reached Boston. For the next decade the station became a vital link not only for rapid transit commuters, but interurban, commuter rail, and intercity rail passengers.
The station was closed for IRT service on April 14, 1924, and the line was converted into a connecting pedestrian bridge, although the Third Avenue Line continued to cross the Harlem River until 1955. The HR&PC was officially merged with the New Haven Railroad on January 1, 1927. Harlem River Station continued to serve the New Haven Railroad and New York, Westchester and Boston Railway until 1930 when the NYNH&H left, and was closed completely on December 31, 1937〔(Harlem River NYW&B Station (New York, Westchester, and Boston Railway Website) )〕 when the NYW&B fell into bankruptcy.
