The K car, northbound, crossed the Harlem River Ship Canal. Very shortly, it used a leading-point crossover and stopped on the southbound track immediately after West 225th Street came down from Marble Hill and before West 225th Street arrived from Bailey Avenue. I forget which door arriving passengers would use to exit. The conduit slot went only on that crossover, it did not continue straight. Both tracks had wire overhead to facilitate Bronx cars going to Kingsbridge barn. The motorman would change ends, and we would board the now-southbound car at his operating end. Changing ends meant bringing the brake handle forward, grabbing the fare box to move up front, and maybe flipping a few seats.--- The K car did not leave Manhattan, as the old river bed was north of West 228th Street. |
