Gramatan Avenue-Bronxville - wasn't that what later morphed into Fifth Avenue-Mount Vernon? I know that one, as of the 1950's, sported the Route C letter in Westchester Electric's/Westchester Street Transportation's Mount Vernon Division. (Meanwhile, by then they had Gramatan Avenue designated Route E.)
