Re: [PHOTOS] Polo Grounds Shuttle - Part 2

Posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Tue Feb 6 10:13:56 2018, in response to [PHOTOS] Polo Grounds Shuttle - Part 2, posted by Bill Newkirk on Mon Feb 5 15:56:38 2018.

Hello Bill

This photo is looking south west along the uptown side (former N/B local) local track of the then truncated one time earlier 4 track W. 155th former Express EL Street Station, from the small park located along the East sidewak of 8th Avenue to the East side of the EL structure, with the Harlem River behind the small park. Been there a number of times when and the line was operating.






The tall 3-section luxury apartment buildings in background are still there - visible in the mid-1950's scene behind, to the left of the subway car at the station,

However, now since the tall Projects replaced the Polo Grounds and its parking lot to its south, the old luxury apartment building cannot be seen from street level at the same location today. So here is an aerial view showing it clearly -- and the photographer was standing across, on the east side of, 8th Avenue approximately from where the red M target-sign for subway entrance is on the image. The luxury buildings are see at top center of photo behind the left most tall housing project building
