The 133rd Street station was a station on the IRT Third Avenue Line in the Bronx, New York City. It was originally opened on May 17, 1886, by the Suburban Rapid Transit Company,[5][6] and was the first stop in the Bronx after crossing the Harlem River.[1] It had two tracks and one island platform, and was also the terminus of the Third Avenue Line until May 23, 1886, when it was expanded to 143rd Street. Besides Third Avenue Line trains, it was also served by trains of the IRT Second Avenue Line until June 11, 1940, when Second Avenue service ended.[7][8][9] This station closed on May 12, 1955, with the ending of all service on the Third Avenue El south of 149th Street.[10]
