The Bergen Cutoff is what made the Westchester Ave branch superfluous.In this pic you can see the Westchester branch rising above the current 2/5 tracks.  And in this pic you can see the pillars that supported the Bergen Cutoff. The Bergen Cutoff was actually a branch off the Second Ave El before it merged with the 3rd Ave El and ran on the upper level I believe. When the 2nd Ave El was discontinued they continued running trains from Freeman on 3rd Ave. Why Freeman? I have no idea.  I saw a pic posted here once of how the Bergen cutoff branched off the upper level Westchester Ave branch. |
