It is served by the 6 train at all times and is located at Whitlock Avenue and Westchester Avenue in the Bronx. HistoryThe Whitlock Avenue station opened on May 30, 1920 as the Pelham Line was extended to East 177th Street from Hunts Point Avenue.[2][3][4] The construction of the Pelham Line was part of the Dual Contracts, signed on March 19, 1913 and also known as the Dual Subway System.[5] The Pelham Line was built as a branch of the Lexington Avenue Line running northeast via 138th Street, Southern Boulevard and Westchester Avenue.[6] Initially, service to the extension was served by a shuttle service operating with elevated cars. Passengers transferred to the shuttle at Hunts Point Avenue.[7] Station layout{{Stack|float=right|{{Routemap|title=Track layout |title-bg=#{{NYCS color|6}}; |title-color= |style=margin-left:10px;margin-top:10px;float:right; |legend =track |map= RP4!~MFADEg\\d ~~ ~~ ~~ {{Jct|state=NY|NY|895}} d\\RP4\\WASSER!~MFADEg ~~ ~~ ~~ Bronx River udSTRc2\\u-STR3+l\\RP4!~u-STRq\\WASSER!~u-STRq\\u-STRq!~MFADEfq udSTR+1\\uvSTR+l!~uSTRc4\\RP4!~uvSTRq\\WASSER!~uvSTRq\\uvSTRq!~MFADEfq ~~ ~~ ~~ to Elder Av dBSl\\uvSTR\\udSTR\\RP4!~dBSr\\WASSER!~MFADEf\\\\d ~~ ~~ ~~ Bronx River dBSl\\uvSTR\\udSTR\\RP4!~MFADEf!~dBSr\\\\\\d ~~ ~~ ~~ {{Jct|state=NY|NY|895}} dBSl\\uvSTR\\udSTR\\dBSr\\\\\\ dBSl\\uvSTR\\udSTR\\dBSr\\\umN345\\ udSTRf\\udSTRg!~dNULff\\udSTRg\\\\\\ utdSTRa\\utdSTRa\\utdSTRa\\\\\\ utvSTR!~MFADEf\\utdSTR!~dMFADEf\\\\\\ ~~ ~~ ~~ to Hunts Point Av }} }}{{NYCS Platform Layout IRT Pelham Line/local/elevated}} The station has three tracks and two side platforms, with the center express track used by the <6> service on weekdays in the peak direction.[8] The station has covered-over old signs and a windscreen on the south end. The north end has a full canopy over the platform. The station is adjacent to an abandoned railroad station called Westchester Avenue which was served by the New York, Westchester and Boston Railroad (NYW&B), and the Harlem River Branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Currently, the line is used by Amtrak. The former NYW&B line was at one time proposed to be converted into an extension of the IRT Dyre Avenue Line leading to this station, rather than its current terminus at East 180th Street on the IRT White Plains Road Line. The station is also located right next to the Sheridan Expressway. Southbound, this is the last elevated station before the wholly underground stretch to Brooklyn Bridge station. Northbound, the line makes a right angle turn to the east and crosses the Bronx River via a bridge. ExitsThe mezzanine is wood and features frosted windows in a simulated 16-pane pattern. At one time there were doors to the fare control but they have been removed; doors from fare control to the street remain. Outside fare control, exit stairs lead to either southern corner of Westchester Avenue and Whitlock Avenue.[9] {{-|left}}References1. ^{{NYCS const|riderref}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1920/05/28/118322488.pdf|title=Bronx Subway Extension Opened|last=|first=|date=May 28, 1920|work=|accessdate=January 25, 2016|publisher=New York Times|via=}} 3. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ob0JAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA372#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac|last=|first=|date=1922|publisher=Brooklyn Daily Eagle|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=372|language=en|quote=|via=}} 4. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xRzVAAAAMAAJ&dq=may+30,+1920+pelham+line+opening&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=may+30,+1920+pelham+line|title=Annual Report for the Year Ending June 30, 1920|last=|first=|date=1920|publisher=Interborough Rapid Transit Company|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=5, 13|language=en}} 5. ^nycsubway.org—The Dual Contracts 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/The_Dual_System_of_Rapid_Transit_(1912)|title=The Dual System of Rapid Transit (1912)|date=|publisher=www.nycsubway.org|accessdate=March 25, 2014}} 7. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Fg4KAQAAMAAJ&dq=Pelham+line+shuttle+hunts+point+177+street&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=177|title=A History of the New York City Subway System|last=Cunningham|first=Joseph|last2=DeHart|first2=Leonard O.|date=1993|publisher=J.
