Memory can be faulty and I saved only occasional issues of the New York Division bulletin. However @MainR3664 the letters appeared on TARS routes only in the 1930's. In my memory, the B-Broadway car always had the 129th & Amsterdam car barn as its northern terminus. Likewise, during the era when letters were used, the Third and Amsterdam (T) went to Fort George, not to The Bronx. For what happened before 1910, go to history books and even then allow for errors.--- The person in this thread who discovered a route beginning at 129th and 2nd (that el station on an east-west axis at 129th Street) all the way to Mount Vernon has made a find), but its chronology must be matched with a discussion of when the elevated structures over the trolley route were built. For example, the section above Webster Avenue from Bronx Park to Gun Hill Road was opened for service in October, 1920. Interborough service above White Plains Road reached East 238th Street in late 1917. |
