Actually, Holland Ave and North White plains DID exist at the same time. MU trains terminated at North White while locomotive hauled trains stopped at the Holland Ave platform while engines changed from electric to diesel. The Holland Ave platform was westbound (Brewster bound) only while North White had platforms in both directions. passengers bound for North White Plains could take either type of train and it was noted on the timetable that the Holland Ave platform was s short distance from the North White platform so passengers used both services. I used the service many time due to cab rides I got from a friendly NYC engineer and asI recall the Holland Ave platform was about the same distance from the North White platform as the IND station at Bway Jct is from the BMT Bway Jct station. |
