Many NYC nabes were undeveloped wilderness outposts where El lines or Elevated extensions of subway lines as contract II Els were referred to as back then. They built & they came. That was the way of the NYC world back then. |

I would imagine that Ninth Avenue in that area would have been very lightly developed in 1875.The Hudson River RR terminated at 33rd St & 9th Ave. The El's franchise was to connect railroads to the downtown area. |

The Illinois Central (now Metra Electric Division) was built when very few dwellings existed. My grandfather sued the RR to force them to build proper grade crossings on 71st Street which became a vibrant commercial street until 1968. |

It shows the Flushing Line under construction in Jackson Hgts somewhere between 82 st & 90th st over Roosevelt Ave, which is still a dirt road. |

Few realize even after Market East (now Jefferson) Station opened in 1983, the Reading Terminal remained open for another year before it finally closed. |
