The reason that I heard and recalled that the last section of the Third Avenue El stayed up for another 3-4 years was because there were still active feeder cables from the old 161st Street substation that fed power into the IRT subway at 149th Street.

You're right Bill. I remember serving jury duty at the old courthouse at 161 Street and Third Avenue about 1974 and the el structure was still standing but it ended at about 161 Street.
