The MTA probably did have an interest in using the entire NYW&B ROW but with the rampant budget mismanagement in the agency, just gave up on the idea. While the original plans for the SAS in the BX called for it to take over the Pelham line and the Dyre Line, later plans were revised and pelham was to be left with the IRT Lex and the SAS was to have taken over the Wh Pl Rd line N/O e180 instead. In any case it doesn’t look like any of that will happen now unless with typical MTA wastefulness, a new connection most likely a subway is constructed to connect the lower part of the NYW&B ROW to the old E-180 St station at much greater expense than maintaining the original viaduct. I looked at some of those photos and was thinking that if the connection had been made and operate it would have been one hell of a ride up that viaduct and into E 180. |
