Westchester Avenue station, Railroad station in Longwood, the Bronx, US.

The station entrance hall stands on solid ground while the waiting room section extends over the tracks on metal support beams.

Architect Cass Gilbert designed this 1908 station for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, incorporating rich terra cotta ornamentation.

The station exterior displays a caduceus symbol near the eaves, representing both the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad identities.

The structure sits partially suspended over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor line, with the original platform access staircases no longer present.

The New York Landmarks Conservancy lists this abandoned 1908 station as endangered, yet no governmental protection measures exist.

Architects: Cass Gilbert

Official opening: 1908

GPS coordinates: 40.82722,-73.88528
