LV 0-4-0T #3500 - Lehigh Valley |
Description: |
This little switcher was only one of two 0-4-0 switchers on the LV roster since the line was primarily hauling heavy loads. It spent its life at the LV's Bronx Terminal shuffling cars. After nearly 33 years of switching duties, the loco was scrapped in August of 1939. Specs - 48" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure, 16x24" cylinders, modest engine wt of 97,000 lb, very modest tractive effort of 19,584 lb. No date was given for the photo but it had to be before the August, 1939 scrapping. Photo by Anderson. |

Dyre Av Line |
Description: |
We took the IRT no 5 train to Dyre Av, once the NY Westchester & Boston. It was a marvelously engineered right of way, with wide tunnels. Dad caught this southbound train in one of the tunnels, I believe near the Esplanade station. |

Portrait of the author as a subway nut |
Description: |
Yes, thats me in April 1974, just before by 15th birthday. I was on a quest to ride the entire NYCTA-not all at once-and dad would ride along with me to the Bronx, since he was a little jittery about me going up there alone at that time in history. I think he trusted me not to do anything stupid or dangerous, he just didnt want to hear a lot of crap about it from mom if anything unfortunate were to happen while I was on one of these jaunts. Anyway, thats me on the #5 Dyre Av line, at the last stop, waiting to head back to E 180th to ride the #2 up to 241st St. |

Baychester Av |
Description: |
The Dyre Av line was built on the abandoned right of way of the short lived-and marvelously appointed-NY Westchester & Boston, and electrified railroad that opened in 1913, and ceased operations in 1938. It was handicapped from the start by lack of a Manhattan terminal, its riders having to change to elevated trains in the south Bronx to reach midtown. It was lavishly built, with a wide right of way. The IRT, by then owned by the city, acquired it in 1941, building a connection from the White Plains Rd line at E 180th St. Were headed north at Baychester Av on a spring day in April 1974. |

Yard leads |
Description: |
The leads to the 239th St yard on the White Plains Rd line. I always found the track layouts for such places fascinating, how they built it all essentially up on stilts. It was even more amazing that the IND did all of this work underground, such as on 53rd St between 5 Av and the 8th Av subway. |

Freeman St |
Description: |
On days off, or school vacations, dad and I would sometimes take off for some of the more far flung parts of the NYCTA, especially the Bronx, which at the time was, well, not the place you wanted to spend a lot of time. I was on a quest to ride all of the system at the time, and dad was sympathetic. He also had cautioned that if I wanted to go there, he wanted to go along, not that he questioned my judgement about riding to some parts of the city, but that if anything should happen, he knew hed never hear the end of it from my mom, who was worried about everything. I was with him on that one, because Id never hear the end of it either. In any event, here we see the Freeman St station coming up as we ride the No 5-Dyre Av train, in a view of classic NYCTA elevated tracks. |

Put power |
Description: |
The Putnam Division was still a going concern in the late 70s, though its days were numbered. Service at the time went as far as an A&P warehouse in, I think, Tuckahoe. The power requirements were not extensive, and this GP 7 was more than up to the task. Seen at the Putnam Division yard in the Bronx, where the Hudson Line follows the Harlem River, and the Put goes north. Note the small Conrail lettering and can opener on the long hood. And how about those PC trailers at left!! |

Yard power, and a rare road unit |
Description: |
Conrail used many of the ex PC SW1500s for local!and yard jobs in the New York area. We see one here at Oak Point in company of a much more unusual unit, though a regular visitor to the city. Selkirk was home base to much of CRs GE fleet including the four U36Bs. They were a common sight on SELI/LISE and its occasional modification, SEOP/OPSE, the connection to the Long Island at Fresh Pond. U36B 2974 is on hand today, and will return to Selkirk later in the evening. |
