MTR Admiralty Posted July 29, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2009 From the Jerome Avenue line before rehab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted July 29, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2009 It has to be either: any of the elevated stations on the , or the White plains road line from Jackson Avenue to West Farms Square. The reason being is that this has to be a Contract I elevated station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason being is that this has to be a Contract I elevated station. I dont think the Van Cortland Line north of 157 was open till after the WPR line opened up to E180th- Bronx Park (South of West Farms). Plus it looks like a platform overhead. West Farms to Jackson looks nothing like that as its rehabed. Maybe Intervale which was rehabbed in 1992. But still doubt Any hints of wat boro it is Anthony?

Nope, 157th st. to 242nd street opened 1904-1908. The upper portion of the WPR opened from 1917-1920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted July 29, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 29, 2009 Nope, it all opened from 1904-1908. well wiki shows that 191st on the opened in 1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33WF Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted July 29, 2009 The only hint is that it an EL station and i took the photo today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted July 29, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 29, 2009 well wiki shows that 191st on the opened in 1911 Heh, constructing a line is sometimes easier than constructing an in-fill station. From NYCSubway.org:Local station with two tracks and two side platforms. This station is the deepest below the street level at 180 feet down. 191st Street Station was built a few years after this section of the line opened, so its design is a bit newer and it is smaller in scale than the other stations in the deep tunnel. You're right, Mark :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted July 29, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 29, 2009 The only hint is that it an EL station and i took the photo today WELL there can be lots of ELs like that. Maybe The Background seems werid but it would be nice for a boro! Ok 225th Street on or whitlock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted July 29, 2009 Share #11 Posted July 29, 2009 WELL there can be lots of ELs like that. Maybe The Background seems werid but it would be nice for a boro! Well the only IRT els other than the Bronx is the Flushing and Livonia. Livionia doesn't have that nice of workings, and the Flushing is in better shape. So I'm 100% sure this is the BX.

Livionia doesn't have that nice of workings, and the Flushing is in better shape. So I'm 100% sure this is the BX. Thats what I mean, plus since BMT/IRT owned the Flushing line, why would it say IRT on the Flushing. I doubt its 125th on the as its renovated. It could be Dyckman Street on the or north[Excluding 231st] Not the Jerome Line of course since its rehabbed all over for the ELs. I doubt the Of course. as all stations on the White Plains Road line is renovated excluding Intervale[Tho Rehab in 1992 after that fire there] And E180th Street for the EL. [Jackson to West Farms except Intervale and Bronx Pk East to 241st all renovated) The Dyre EL and Pelham EL is not renovated of course. So its ether Van Cortland Line, Dyre Avenue Branch or Pelham Bay Line ELs For Brooklyn: New Lots Line as its not renovated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its ether Van Cortland Line, Dyre Avenue Branch or Pelham Bay Line ELs Actually, it can't be the Dyre Avenue line. The Dyre Avenue line wasn't built by the IRT, it was built by the New York and Boston Rail road IIRC. After the city bought the IRT in 1940, they took over that ROW because it was abandoned and connected it to the WPR line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted July 29, 2009 Share #14 Posted July 29, 2009 I think its 225th Street. I see a bridge structure in the background and that's my only guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted July 29, 2009 Share #25 Posted July 29, 2009 I dunno, looking @ that pinkish tint in the roof... I'm gonna go w/ Van Cortlandt pk (242nd st) on the 1.... the roof above the unused platform @ 242nd looks just as raggedy, if that's not it...
