Located at the intersection of 167th Street and River Avenue in the Concourse and Highbridge neighborhoods of the Bronx, it is served by the 4 train at all times. This station was constructed by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company as part of the Dual Contracts and opened in 1917. History thumb|left|220px|Eastern street stairs The Dual Contracts, which were signed on March 19, 1913, were contracts for the construction and/or rehabilitation and operation of rapid transit lines in the City of New York. The contracts were "dual" in that they were signed between the city and two separate private companies (the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company), all working together to make the construction of the Dual Contracts possible. The Dual Contracts promised the construction of several lines in the Bronx. As part of Contract 3, the IRT agreed to build an elevated line along Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/Chapter_5:_Terms_and_Conditions_of_Dual_System_Contracts New Subways For New York: The Dual System of Rapid Transit Chapter 5: Terms and Conditions of Dual System Contracts New York Public Service Commission 1913 February 16, 2015https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/The_Dual_System_of_Rapid_Transit_(1912) The Dual System of Rapid Transit (1912) New York State Public Service Commission 1912https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35605250/the-brooklyn-daily-eagle/ Most Recent Map of the Dual Subway System Which Shows How Brooklyn Borough Is Favored In New Transit Lines September 9, 1917 The Brooklyn Daily Eagle August 23, 2016 newspapers.com 167th Street station opened as part of the initial section of the line to Kingsbridge Road on June 2, 1917.

This incompatibility prevented the connection from being built.History of the Independent Subway https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/History_of_the_Independent_Subway nycsubway.org June 16, 2020 Another issue was that the Ninth Avenue Line could not carry subway cars, it was only strong enough to carry the lighter elevated cars.244 From 1940 to 1958, 167th Street served as a terminal for the last remnant of the Ninth Avenue El operating from 155th Street (Polo Grounds) to 167th Street. On reaching 167th Street, trains would switch to the center track, change direction, and return to 155th Street on the downtown track. Service was eventually reduced to a single two-car train operating in both directions on the uptown track.Polo Grounds Shuttle https://www.angelfire.com/fl/mainframeconsole/polo_grounds_shuttle/ live Charlie's 9th Ave El June 16, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200616103549/http://www.angelfire.com/fl/mainframeconsole/polo_grounds_shuttle/ June 16, 2020 In 1958, service was discontinued after the New York Giants left for San Francisco.
