The Woodlawn (also known as Woodlawn – East 233rd Street) Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Woodlawn section of The Bronx via the Harlem Line. It is from Grand Central Terminal and is located on East 233rd Street near Webster Avenue. This station is located in the Zone 2 Metro-North fare zone with hourly service. Just north of the station is Woodlawn Junction, where the New Haven Line splits from the Harlem Line to join the Northeast Corridor. From 1848 until the 1920s, Woodlawn Station was the only stop in the Bronx shared by both the New York Central and New Haven Railroads until it was moved to Fordham Station.〔(''Station Reporter web-site: Harlem Line'' )〕 The station house was built over the tracks and survived well into the 1970s.〔(1970's Woodlawn Penn Central Station Photo (Joseph D. Korman) )〕 Woodlawn Station was the site of a derailment on February 16, 1907 that resulted in 20 deaths and 150 injuries. This was one day after New York Central Railroad electrified the Harlem Line in reaction to being chastised in the press after the Park Avenue Tunnel accident of 1902.〔(The Woodlawn Crash, 1907 (The American Experience: WGBH Boston) )〕 ==Platform and track configuration== This station has two high-level side platforms, each four cars long. When trains stop at this station, normally the front four open cars receive and discharge passengers. The western platform, adjacent to Track 4, is generally used by southbound trains. It is accessible by stairway from East 233rd Street or the station's parking lot via Webster Avenue and the southbound Bronx River Parkway service road. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 3, is generally used by northbound trains. It is accessible by stairway from East 233rd Street. The Harlem Line has four tracks at this location. The middle two tracks, not adjacent to either platform, are used only by express trains. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woodlawn (Metro-North station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
