Re: [PHOTOS] IRT Snapshots

Hello Bill (M)

This one is easy -- its the IRT West Farms Line EL and Station at the E.177th Street (at E. Tremont Ave) Local Station, looking along the uptown platform. Taken from against the station railing. The Rooftop utility units for an adjacent tall Housing project is seen above Work Motor Car 4060 - and the beginning of the Station platform canopy is seen to the right of the 3rd car. The south end to almost the middle of this platform has no canopy as it is on the sharp curve. The woods (trees) of Bronx Park East on the high distant hills are seen at top left. I took many photos & some color slides from that platform in the late 1950's thru 1960's






Here is a view from a near similar angle -- but close to the N/B platform edge




regards - Joe F
