Parkchester/Van Nest station is a planned passenger rail station on the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line, to be located within Bronx Community Board 11 in Van Nest and just north of the Parkchester neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City. The station is planned to open in 2027 as part of the Penn Station Access project, which will add four stations in the Bronx.[2][3][4] It will be located east of Unionport Road, with entrance from East Tremont Avenue.[1]
