Spider PigIf you are speaking about the Embankment and Trestle structure from Lebanon Street South to E.174th Street --as you stated "was torn down in 1997" -- sorry, but that is incorrect. Here is a Railroad.Net Message by someone I know who was there when the structures were being removed and embankment earthen-fill excavated and removed. Here is his post - copy pasted ===================================================================== RAILROAD.NET Re: NYW&B/NH West Farms Jct. Posted by: pbass » Wed Jan 04, 2012 3:40 pm There is very little left to see. I was there soon after the viaduct was being demolished back up to 180th street in 2003. I remember that after the NYWB demise that NYWB track 2 (N/B ex-Express track) was connected to the NH/PC at 174th street splitting off to former NYWB tracks 3&4 about 177th street. I took photos of NYCTA hoppers on those 2 tracks there. ==================================================================== Also, A photographer has a website on-line I once saw (I am trying to find it again) -- of his extensive demolition coverage photos of that part of the line - in stages - between 2003 and 2005. Here is a June 2003 Photo showing the slowly ongoing demolition - in section stages - of the Viaduct south from just north of the north sidewalk line of Lebanon Street - just below the E.180St ex-NYW&B Station. The view is north from a block or so below Lebanon Street  regards - Joe F |
