34 THE BOROUGH OF THE BRONX 



The main line passes thru North Pelham, New Rochelle, 

 Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Harrison and Rye to Port Chester. 



The New York, Westchester and Boston Railway is the most 

 modern and up-to-date system in railroad construction. From its 

 roadbed to its cars and stations, its architecture, workmanship and 

 materials are of the best and highest standard. The entire line is 

 equipped with all-steel motor passenger coaches, each having a 

 seating capacity for seventy-eight persons. 



The new transfer station located at One Hundred Eightieth 

 Street and Morris Park Avenue will connect with the West Farms 

 Branch of the Interborough and will become the geographical 

 center for the distribution of city and suburban traffic. Provision 

 has also been made for the Pelham Bay section of the Lexington 

 Avenue Subway to connect at the Westchester Avenue station, 

 in The Bronx, thus affording an opportunity for the exchange of 

 passenger traffic for all points. 



The station occupies a space approximately 550 feet in length 

 and 250 feet in width. Both entrances and exits are on the street 

 level, and the platforms for receiving and discharging passengers 

 are elevated above the street, conveniently arranged to expedite 

 the transfer from one system to another. 



The ground floor has been so designed that a space is reserved 

 on each side of the entrance to the station from Morris Park Ave- 

 nue, which can be converted into retail stores on the design of an 

 arcade, should the development of the section in the vicinity of the 

 station later warrant such an improvement. 



The Interborough Rapid Transit Company, upon the comple- 

 tion of the Broadway and West Farms extensions of the subway, 

 started the "Green Lines" of the new crosstown system for the 

 purpose of carrying passengers to the subways, and transferring 

 them to the trunk lines of the company, for a three-cent fare. 



On the extreme westerly side of the Borough is the Main Line 

 and Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad. These 

 lines accommodate residents of Highbridge, Morris Heights, Uni- 

 versity Heights, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Riverdale, Mount 

 Saint Vincent, Van Cortlandt and Mosholu. 



The northwestern section of the Borough is also tapped by 

 the Broadway branch of the subway up to Van Cortlandt Park 

 (Two Hundred Forty-second Street and Broadway), where the 

 terminals of five trolley lines feed the branch from the north and
