Morris Heights (Metro-North Station)
The Morris Heights (also known as Morris Heights – West 177th Street) Metro-North station serves the residents of the Morris Heights neighborhood of the Bronx, New York via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes during peak hours, and every hour at other times and on weekends. It is 8.1 miles (13.0 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately 17 minutes. Morris Heights is the second-southernmost station before the Hudson Line joins with the Harlem Line and New Haven Line.
It is located in the narrow strip of land between the Major Deegan Expressway and the Harlem River, next to Roberto Clemente State Park.
The station has operated since the days of the New York and Putnam Railroad early in the 20th century, though not in its present form.

Famous quotes containing the words morris and/or heights:
“The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo.”
—Desmond Morris (b. 1928)
“This monument, so imposing and tasteful, fittingly typifies the grand and symmetrical character of him in whose honor it has been builded. His was “the arduous greatness of things done.” No friendly hands constructed and placed for his ambition a ladder upon which he might climb. His own brave hands framed and nailed the cleats upon which he climbed to the heights of public usefulness and fame.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
