Re: 149 St - Grand Concourse (2,5) Update

Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Thu Jul 30 10:12:29 2026, in response to 149 St - Grand Concourse (2,5) Update, posted by gbs on Thu Jul 30 03:09:45 2026.



The original name of the Contract 1 station (2,5 trains) was Mott Avenue. Mott Avenue was renamed Grand Concourse in 1927.


The Interborough had planned to build a passageway from the 149th Street-Grand Concourse station to a never built station on the New York Central Railroad. Some provision for this passageway were begun built never finished. However for many years there was a tiled sign indicating a connection to New York Central trains. I do not know if it is still there.
