Although leased by the IRT, the Manhattan Elevated still had some say in decision making. For example, when the 6th/9th ave els were extended to Jerome Ave in the Bronx. The portal between Anderson/Jerome and Sedgwick Ave stations was built only for cars with elevated type 3rd rail. It was not wide enough for subway type 3rd rail, unless the contact shoes were modified, as was the case when the Composites were removed from Polo Grounds shuttle service in 1950.
