Posted by Mellow One on Thu Mar 12 13:21:05 2009, in response to Re: Tunnel portal and el stub at 149th St, posted by 3-9 on Wed Mar 11 04:53:38 2009. The Bergen Route up Westchester Ave was one of the original Suburban Railway routes of 1888. As built, the original two track Suburban route on the PROW from the Harlem River to 1444th St in the Bronx had a stub for that route built into the structure at 144th St. The route was not built at that time because it was held for the planned subway, which did utilize it later. This map illustrates the stub at 144th St. I can not remember what the lower level at 144th St looked like at the end of the el south of 149th St in 1955. This is an image of the upper level at 144th St showing the single 3rd Ave line express track descending down to the local tracks at 145th St and on to Third Ave. The two Bergen Ave Cutoff tracks go off to the right to Willis Ave. The lower level stub was never utilized.  Have a nice day. |
