The problem with newspaper articles is that many reporters are notorious for reporting inaccurate information. Many years ago, the daily news published an article that was supposed to be about the NYW&B. The article was so full of misinformation it was almost laughable. The article referred to the RR as the “Boston and Westchester” and stated that it was intended to run between E180 St and Dyre Av which is the present length of the NYCTA Dyre Av Line. Not only did the article get the name of the RR wrong but it made no mention whatsoever of the rest of the route originating at Harlem river or the remainder of the 2 branches that extended into Westchester County. The point is, since most reporters don’t have the exhaustively encyclopedic knowledge necessary to write intelligent articles the accuracy of many of them is highly suspect. |
