What was the West Farms Spur? |
|
|
Posted by aem7ac on Sun Nov 30 01:43:59 2008 As far as I know none of the Bronx IRT except for the 3rd Avenue El was torn down. What was the West Farms Spur and why was it torn down? What exactly happened when they took over the NY Westchester and Boston? I presume E 180 was an old RR yard and the other one (West Farms?) south of E 180 was the old IRT yard. Why is there a huge curve right before (south of) E 180? Chicago-style "let's avoid a building"? |
