| Originally a local station on New York, Westchester & Boston (NYWB) Railway, an electric interurban line powered by overhead (AC) wire. The NYWB filed bankruptcy in 1937 and the line within Bronx became the Dyre Branch of the IRT subway in 1941. Note the high vertical clearance: both for the overhead AC wires and to allow clearance of freight carloads such as boxcars as NYWB handled local freight interchanged with the New Haven Railroad. |
