Posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Sun Apr 30 16:16:04 2017, in response to Re: East 180th Street (4/10/17), posted by Elkeeper on Sun Apr 30 15:06:44 2017. Hello Elkeeper !!Have you NOT at all been following and reading all my postings and all the photos and information and data I provided within them ??? The posting of mine that your question was linked to shows where it began... via my photos of the earthen R-o-W when intact, before being totally removed and level-graded to make the Starlight Nature Parkland. The beginning of the 4 track uphill rising earth fill embankment began slightly and gradually just under the E. 174th Street roadway bridge, where at the opposite south side of the overpass bridge, the 2 NYW&B Mainline tracks paralleling the NHRR 4 track main northward from South Bronx, then expanded into 4 tracks on the actual NYW&B owned land / property starting at that E. 174th Street approximate point. The 4 track earthen fill embankment rose gradually and gently curving from that point to a bit steeper continuous grade approaching E. 175th Street, and continued north to where the earth embankment part alongside the south end of the east wall of the Coliseum Arena Building, parallel to the Railway, was high enough to by then, there, have to be lined and secured on both sides by high exterior concrete retaining walls. The southern beginning of these two concrete retaining walls and their retained embankment went north and ended to start at the steel trestle viaduct at about 1/2 block SOUTH of the E. 177th Street crossing - where across E. 177th Street, the 4 track steel trestle viaduct continued north, it also rising gradually in a somewhat diminishing level of rising grade. The 4-track viaduct trestle Roadbed grade finally leveled out to almost flat horizontal at around the Lebanon Street Crossing and headed 1 final block north into the south end of the E. 180th St NYW&B Express Station.
