I'm out of my depth here, but the nycsubway.org site has a TARS route map dated 1922 (not a track map) that shows a carline coming down Willis Avenue, crossing the bridge to Manhattan, then traveling on First Avenue to 125th Street (no further south). The map shows service on 125th Street both east and west of First Avenue, east going a short block to the river's edge.--- I my untrustworthy memory, I recall riding the X-125 St car east until it was cut back by the Triborough Bridge just east of a north-south Avenue. That is, after WW2, the X-125 did proceed some distance east of Third Avenue, maybe past 2nd Avenue, maybe past 1st Avenue. First Avenue led to the Willis Avenue Bridge. The next question is the location of the plow pit for Willis Avenue cars. |
