The Melrose (also known as Melrose – East 162nd Street) Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Melrose section of the Bronx via the Harlem Line. It is from Grand Central Terminal and is located in an open cut beneath Park Avenue at its intersection with East 162nd Street. Service at Melrose is limited; trains stop approximately every half-hour during rush hours and every two hours all other times.

This station is the first/last station in the Zone 2 Metro-North fare zone, and is the first/last station of the CityTicket inter-city ticket zone.

When Melrose station was originally built by the New York Central Railroad in the late 19th century, it contained a station house as a bridge over all four tracks, with two island platforms. Similar structures were built for the former Morrisania Station, as well as Tremont Station. The station is located just south of a former wye with the northern terminus of the former Port Morris Branch, and was renovated, with the northbound platform moved out from underneath the overpass to its current location, circa 2006.

In 2012, Melrose residents expressed concern regarding the station; residents would like to see more frequent service, but track and capacity limitations hinder the amount of service available for the stop. Other concerns regarded the lack of handicap access, and the past closure of the main entrance to the stop. The main entrance was closed when the community was at the height of its turmoil, but as the community has regained its footing the desire to have the station open to the primary commercial street, 161st Street, has grown.

Melrose is a modern cultivar of domesticated apple which was developed by Freeman S. Howlett at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station in Ohio, United States, and is regarded as the official apple of that state.

This apple was released by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station in Wooster, Ohio during World War II and was obtained from a cross between the Jonathan and the Red Delicious apples. The result is flattened large fruit, which is streaked and flushed with dark red over a background of yellowish-green skin, with spots of russet. The flesh is creamy white, of firm and coarse texture, and juicy. The flavor is mildly acidic, similar to Jonathan, but not as tart. It comes into season at the beginning of October.
