Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Mon Feb 2 07:06:15 2009, in response to Re: Track connections between LIRR and NYCT, posted by Stef on Sat Jan 31 19:01:11 2009. Past connections ---- south of East 180th St to the old New Haven, (ex-NYW and B) old IRT Cars were scrapped near the old bus depot in the vicinity of 174th St and the Cross Bronx Expwy, while brand new ACF R26's entered the system for the first time.3rd Av El Willis Avenue Spur ---- with a connection to the old New Haven at 133rd St and the Harlem River. Long after the Willis Avenue Station closed, the track remained active. There's a photo of Steinway World's Fair Cars in the History of the Interborough Fleet by Cunningham, they were being delivered into the system by way of that connection. I think there was a thread about the Harlem River Yard and that connection some time ago. Lots of interesting stuff here..... It's a shame there was never a NYWB-2/3 Av El thru service, or it could have been two in one... |
