From what I read somewhere, it was actually community pressure when the subway was first built that was responsible for the station being built in the first place. The way I understand it the existing tracks were only intended as leads to the yard which was also the iRT’s main shop facility. Since 145 St was a rather important street with streetcars from the Bronx coming across it, local politicians pressed the IRT to build a station there since the subway infrastructure was going there anyhow. |
