Anderson-Jerome Avenues

Anderson-Jerome Avenues was a station on the IRT Ninth Avenue Line. It opened 1918 and closed 1958.

Construction and operation
The history of this station is almost the same as that of the Sedgwick Ave station. It is at the end of a short tunnel used to connect the 6 Ave and 9 Ave El line at 155 St in Manhattan to the newer elevated line in Jerome Ave (which runs over River Ave here near 162 St).

Jerome Ave station emerged from a cliff face. Most of it was on a concrete-clad viaduct over Jerome Ave, the type of structure called an "ornamental el" that was built over parkways. West of the viaduct, the station extends over a building and then continues a short way into the tunnel. What remains is portion in tunnel and over the building.

The New Yankee stadium was built on the old elevated right-of-way in 2009.
