Actually, there have been several proposals over the years for Bronx routes for the SAS. One was to connect the SAS to the Pelham Line since it was built to dual contract standards and all that would be required would be to shave back the station platforms. The Dyre Av Line would also be connected utilizing the old NYW&B ROW from Harlem River although that would now be difficult since some of the viaducts over streets in the West Farms area have been demolished. At some point in the mid 1970s, a much earlier plan dating back to unification was revived which would have left the Pelham Line with the IRT and connected the SAS to a reclaimed White Plains Rd Line which was also built to dual contract standards. The last plan would probably have made more sense since there is more or less a natural connection between the Dyre and Wh Pl Rd lines. |
