Photographs of Pelham Manor Station and the City Island Station on the
Branch Line Published in 1916
On Tuesday, May 22, 2007 I published to the Historic Pelham Blog an item
entitled "Photograph
of Pelham Manor Station on the Branch Line Published in 1908". Today's
posting includes a photograph published in 1916 that was taken from a
different location of the same station. It also includes a second
photograph showing the City Island Station published at the same time.
Following the photographs is a brief transcription of pertinent text that
accompanied the photograph and a citation to the source.
"A few examples of two-, four- and six-track stations, showing different
arrangements for reaching the tracks and trains, are shown in the
illustrations herewith. The pictures in Fig. 156 are views of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford's six-track stations at Port Morris, Hunt's
Point, Woodside, Pelham Manor, Morris Park, Westchester Avenue and City
Island, N. Y. . . .
Pelham Manor was built of stone to harmonize with an existing retaining
wall which was a feature of the station approach."

NY: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. 1916) (text appears on page 259; two
photographs shown above are part of Figure 156 appearing on page 258).
