Posted by SelkirkTMO on Fri Nov 1 21:49:41 2013, in response to Re: 230TH/BAILEY AVENUE station.., posted by Dyre Dan on Fri Nov 1 16:44:40 2013. Hard to say ... I saw a reference to a design change in 1906 in a PSC document which neither stated nor denied that the connection existed, wasn't mentioned at all other than an approved design change. I posted another account which describes an existing terminal with an island platform that was built. Beyond that, nothing.The absence of photos from that far back is neither proof or a denial of its existence - cameras were very big and bulky, very very expensive, and you really needed a genuine reason to send one out to take a picture back in those days. So the absence of any photos wouldn't be a surprise one way or the other. I was saddened to see that the "Riverdale Historical Society" of my childhood disappeared, they might have had any such documentation. There is a Kingsbridge Historical Society, but they have little to nothing either. Their website appears to have never been finished. And so, dunno where to look to either confirm or deny. The original plan made sense as the Kingsbridge stop for the Putnam was right there at Bailey and 230th at the time. Perhaps it was decided that there wasn't enough passenger volume there to bother keeping it one way or the other. |
