The station is unique in design. It has two levels, with an island platform on each level, but is not configured in the standard express-local lower-upper configuration (which is used in most stations south of this point). Instead, the upper platform serves northbound (uptown) trains, and the lower level serves southbound (downtown) trains. North of the station, just aftert crossing the Harlem River, the line splits into the Jerome Avenue Line (heading north) and the Pelham Line (heading east). On the lower platform, each track comes from one line, and a flying junction south of the station allows trains to choose the local or express track. On the upper platform, the west track comes from the local track, and the east track comes from the express track; a flying junction north of the station splits the lines. The Harlem River, shown in red, between the Bronx and Manhattan in New York City The Harlem River is a tidal strait in New York City that flows 8 miles between the East River and the Hudson River, separating the borough of Manhattan from the Bronx. ... In U.S. railroad practice, a flying junction is a track configuration in which merging or crossing railroad lines provide track connections with each other without requiring trains to cross over in front of opposing traffic. ...

There is an active tower at the north end of the upper platform.
