Hello KevinWell, other than the steel Catenary-Signal Bridge, there is nothing whatsoever remaining nor recognizable of the entire NYW&B R-o-W north from the Junction near E. 173rd street to the ex-NHRR, now AMTRAK Mainline, to where the short 1/2 block long stub remains of the steel Viaduct just below the east 180th Street ex-NYW&B express station. BELOW is an image of a map plan of the area showing the location of the removed NYW&B 4-track R-o-W within the new Park grounds, and the saved Signal Gantry bridge  The BELOW TWO photos were taken from the E.174th Street roadway bridge showing the grounds totally cleared and leveled flat where the 4 track NYW&B embankment gradually rose upward and headed north towards the Steel Trestle and the ex-NYW&B's E.180th St. Station. The Signal Gantry bridge is shown remaining, and it was restored as a landmark and the only surviving remnant in that area of the NYW&B RR.   The last image below is a straight south view along the center line(between where the 2 center express tracks were located) of the once 4-track NYW&B railway R-o-W - showing the saved Signal Gantry bridge - where the 4 track line descended the slightly curving embankment and passed under the, seen just further below, E.174th Street Auto Bridge, where the 4 tracks merged into 2 tracks, and joined running parallel to the west edge of the NHRR (now AMTRAK) 4 track R-o-W  These photos are also on my ALBUM SET (just added) and will serve to show the before and present visual arrangement of the immediate area. There are a number of Websites featuring this new Greenway Park, said Park Grounds have been completely finished in this area for about 2 years now. regards - Joe F |
