The station had two tracks and an island platform and two side platforms (i.e. Spanish solution). The tracks ended at bumper blocks at the north end of the platforms. HistoryThe initial segment of the IRT White Plains Road Line opened on November 26, 1904 between East 180th Street and Jackson Avenue. Initially, trains on the line were served by elevated trains from the IRT Second Avenue Line and the IRT Third Avenue Line. Once the connection to the IRT Lenox Avenue Line opened on July 10, 1905, trains from the newly opened IRT subway ran via the line.[2][3][4] The line was originally intended to extend farther north but was changed into a terminal during construction due to protests stating that the trains running over the park would be bad for animals in the Bronx Zoo. The line's extension is the reason for the S-curve north of the West Farms Square–East Tremont Avenue station. After the line's extension to 238th Street in 1917 and then Wakefield–241st Street in 1920, the Bronx Park spur was considered redundant, but was not closed and abandoned until August 4, 1952. The station and associated elevated structure were later torn down.
