129th Street station

[2] The station was located between Second and Third Avenues, oriented west-to-east above and on the south side of 129th Street.

[2][3][8] An additional side platform was located at the north end of the yard, used only by employees.

[3] The station originally opened on December 30, 1878, as part of the extension of the Third Avenue Line north of 67th Street.

[4][12] On November 25, 1886, the station gained a connection to the Willis Avenue Spur which took commuters to a terminal station in the Bronx that served commuters using the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and later to the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway interurban lines.

[11] The Willis Avenue shuttle ended service on December 18, 1887,[2] but was restored on July 19, 1891.

[6] This was carried out during the Dual Contracts in the 1910s, adding 129th Street station's flyover express track.

[3] Following unification of the transit system under the city's Board of Transportation, the Second Avenue Line stopped serving the station on June 11, 1940, when it was closed north of 57th Street.

[3][5][14][17] With reduced service and low ridership, the 129th Street station was closed prematurely on July 1, 1950.
