The stone work and center foundation were totally removed. There was still river traffic and the U.S. army corp of engineers required it. The New York Central's Highbridge yard was used for many IRT rapid transit purposes throughout the years. From the time of the New York and Northern Railroad running into the Manhattan Elevated Railway's 155th St. station and later terminating at the IRT Sedgwick Ave. Station. Then the conversion of IRT. Composites for elevated service and the delivery and equipping the Flivvers with their subway trucks at the yard. To the storage and disposal of the Bronx portion of the 3rd Ave el at that then unused site the history of that area is quite interesting. Now of course the Highbridge Yard is once more a major facility for Metro North. Then across the river on the Manhattan side was 155th St Yard and the Green Lines trolley yard just South of there. That is also another story. |
