I know that the book is rare, but does anyone, besides me, have a copy of, "A History of the New York City Subway System, Part 1 (The Manhattan Els and the IRT)? Page 30 says that a temporary station was opened on March 12th, 1906 at 221st St/Broadway on the northern tip of Manhattan.Now, go to page 33 to the "1907" section. The line was extended over the river to the current 225th Street station on Jan 14th, 1907, using the new Broadway Bridge. Service was extended to a TEMPORARY station at 230th St/Broadway, reusing the same structure that had been at 221st St. EXACT QUOTE- "It was decided not to run to Bailey Ave., but to continue to 242nd Street and Van Cortlandt Park". Tunnelrat, the station never existed at Bailey Ave. And it was never moved to 242nd street. Your friend is confusing the temporary station at 230th/Broadway with one that was NEVER built at Bailey Ave. The temporary station at 221st St/Broadway was dismantled and moved to 230th St/Broadway, not to 230th St/Bailey Ave. I hope this solves this mystery once and for all!!! |
