According to the original book published by th IRT in 1903, the station that is now 225 St was called "Muscoota St" and the map indicayes that the original Harlem River was not filled in at that time so in effect, that station was on an island. Also, my understanding is that the planned terminal at Bailey Av was never built since by the time construction had advanced that far, it was decided to route the line up Broadway to its present terminal at Van Cortlandt Pk. I believe it had to do with the NYCRR planning to abandon its Yonkers branch in the then forseeable future so that the original Bailey Av location would not serve its original purpose of serving NYCRR passengers form Yonkers. |
