The whole Bronx section of the Third Ave el was indeed rebuilt to handle heavy subway cars. The section of el from 149th St to north of Tremont Ave was totally rebuilt in 1913-1915. The section of el from north of Tremont Ave to Fordham Rd. was original (circa 1901-1902), but reinforced during the 1910's when a third track was added. The problem was the years of neglect not its construction.
