Posted by Mellow One on Thu Apr 21 15:50:07 2005, in response to Age of the Els Re: To el or not to el, that is the question!, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Apr 20 14:15:21 2005. The 3rd Ave El started service on the Westchester Ave (later White Plains Road) line from a connection at 150th St due to the unfinished Harlem River Tunnel in 1904. The 1905 date when the subway service started to Bronx Park & 180th St. In 1918, the line was extended to the current White Plains Road route and the connection with the 3rd Ave El Webster Ave extension at Gun Hill opened in 1920. That construction also began in 1918. The original 180th St stub terminal was removed in 1951 along with the 2nd/3rd Ave El Bergen St Cutoff structure which replaced the original 150th St connection in 1918. |
