Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Fri Feb 9 13:34:47 2018, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] Polo Grounds Shuttle - Part 2, posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Thu Feb 8 20:24:56 2018. Joe: Your memories of the South Bronx echo mine. I left New York in 1968 and the Grand Concourse then was what it had always been, the Main Street and pride of the borough. I came back four years later to find it a hollow shell of its former self, broken windows, abandoned building and all sorts of undesirables. I had jury duty at the courthouse at 161st Street in the summer of 1974. We received a nice welcome form the county clerk, Leo Levy. He strongly advised us not to visit the adjacent Franz Siegel Park on our lunch break but to remain on the courthouse promenade. It simply wasn't safe to visit even in the middle of the day. Thanks for all the info on the 162nd Street Line. I did explore the area during my jury stints but I never walked through the tunnels. Our conversation here over the past few days is the longest I have ever heard about this line. Even die-hard el fans rarely talked about it and its so full of history. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
