That's the only picture I've ever seen of this terminal, and it already looks to have been relegated to freight, when the connection between Mott Haven and the Harlem RR was made at Spuytin Duyvil. |

It's hard to believe this was once allowed.The Kaufman Act was enacted because there was a deadly traffic accident caused by locomotive steam obscuring one of the new traffic signals on 30th St. Some of the first diesel locomotives were built to fill this newly mandated market as other railroads had freight yards on the West Side and used steam powered switchers. |

I'm not sure when passenger service ended on the West Side line, there were also a handful of stations in upper Manhattan as well. Probably before 1900. |

I know I have seen a photo of the front of the passenger terminal.It may have been in one of the trolley books showing one of the crosstown (27&28 St?) lines? |
