Here's an article that may be useful: [1] --NE2 11:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History of lines

Fordham and Woodlawn Line: first street railway in the Bronx (Harlem Bridge, Morrisiana and Fordham Railway); from Harlem Bridge to Fordham Road by 1879
Boston Road Line: to West Farms (Tremont Avenue) by 1879; to Bronx Park along Boston Road by 1891
Southern Boulevard Line: Third Avenue (directly) to Boston Road by 1891
138th Street Crosstown Line: Third Avenue to East River by 1891; tracks also on Madison Avenue and over the bridge but not on the Bronx side or on 135th Street in Manhattan
Lincoln Avenue: Harlem River (132nd Street) to 138th Street by 1891
St. Ann's Avenue Line: planned in 1911, including connection to Willis Avenue Bridge [2]
Westchester Avenue Line: work began to Unionport in 1899 [3]

The New York, Westchester and Connecticut Traction Company built some lines in Mt. Vernon, including Lincoln Avenue to Chester Hill and probably South 5th Avenue (into the Bronx on Dyre Avenue).

Brooklyn Daily Eagle January 29, 1889 refers to the Harlem and Morrisania Line and 138th Street and Port Morris Line.

Here's a list in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle February 17, 1902 page 2:

"cross-country line" from Jerome Avenue to Unionport
Mount Vernon Line
Fordham Line
West Farms Line
Westchester Avenue Line
161st Street Crosstown Line
"Union line" from 8th Avenue and 135th Street to Port Morris
Willis Avenue Line from 129th Street to High Bridge
"trolley from Fordham" mostly under the L
Mount Vernon Line
West Farms Line
Westchester Line
Boston Road Line

And from [4] (1906):

Proposed lines from June 30, 1900 page 13: [5] All of these existed by 1906. --NE2 00:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

City Island Line

Regarding the City Island Line, does this have anything to do with the Pelham Park and City Island Railway? If so, maybe the redlink should be redirected there. ----DanTD (talk) 13:56, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
