In 1957 the Dyre Line was physically connected to the IRT north of E 180th and thru service began between Dyre Avenue and the rest of the IRT (until 1965 on the 7th Ave. Express; since 1965 on the Lexington). The Dyre Line then became an official IRT route. The old station was then abandoned for passenger use but the old NYW&B building remains as the station entrance.And we've been in Dyre Avenue straits ever since... Milantram (ducking) |
