238th Street station
238th Street is a local stop on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line in the Bronx. It sits at West 238th Street and Broadway in the Kingsbridge neighborhood and is served by the 1 train at all times.
The station is elevated with two side platforms and three tracks; the middle track is not used for regular service. The northbound platform was lengthened in 1910 and the southbound platform in 1948 to fit longer trains. In 2018, the fare controls on the northbound side were changed to allow entries as well as exits.
It lies between Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street to the north and 231st Street to the south. North of the station is the 240th Street Yard, where 1-train cars are inspected and kept. During rush hours, some northbound 1 trains start from the yard near this station or end here and move cars to the yard to ease congestion at the next stop.
Access: The southbound platform has an elevated station house with turnstiles, a token booth, and a street stair to the southwest corner of 238th Street and Broadway. The northbound platform used to be exit-only, but since 2018 it accepts entries as well.
