Posted by mellow one on Tue Jul 3 15:13:16 2007, in response to Re: Elevated freight railroads, posted by TunnelRat on Tue Jul 3 13:23:49 2007. 39 Greenwich St was/is at the SE corner of Morris St. That would have been where the original yard and repair was. You may have seen a stereoview of the yard area. The Hudson River Piers are on West St. Washington St is between West and Greenwich. Broadway and Bowling Green is the next block east from Greenwich. The The New York Elevated Railroad Company offices were located at #7 Broadway, the back door of which opened to the yard and shop. It appears that the author of your book either got his notes and dates and geography mixed up or he did not edit his proof well enough or both.I have been attempting to document the early history of the El with with pictures of places like #39 Greenwich St. The early history of the 9th Ave El is fading into lore. If you happen to have or have access to an image of Mr. Charles T. Harvey demonstrating the use of the line by riding on a (cable) car truck on Dec 7, 1867, note the address on the building below the truck, it is #39 Greenwich St. |
