[2] A major grade elimination project in the Bronx north of the station also took place between 1888 and 1890.

In 1887, the Suburban Rapid Transit Company built a station along the Third Avenue Elevated several blocks to the east.

During the Great Depression, New York Central had proposed to build a new station in Mott Haven eleven blocks to the north at 149th Street, just south of Mott Haven Junction.

[3] Only the tunnel to the station was built and was closed by the New York City Transit Authority.

However, because of the railroad's serious financial distress following the merger, commuter service was turned over to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1972.
