Westchester Square – East Tremont Avenue (IRT Pelham Line)

Westchester Square – East Tremont Avenue (formerly Westchester Square) is a local station on the IRT Pelham Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of East Tremont and Westchester Avenues in the Bronx, it is served by the 6 train at all times except weekdays in the peak direction. During those times, the &lt;6&gt; train replaces the 6; Manhattan-bound in the morning and Pelham Bay Park-bound in the afternoon and early evening.

The station has been completely renovated. The street staircase features a stained glass piece by Romare Bearden. There are glass block tile and "uptown" and "downtown" directional mosaics in the mezzanine. From the northbound platform, there is a good view of the Bronx Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridges. Westchester Yard is located railroad north of the station, to the west of the Pelham Line itself. There are no windscreens, and the canopy is new. The mezzanine artwork features an interesting geometric sculpture on the northbound side.
