Putnam Line

Putnam Line
The Putnam line was opened in 1881 and ran between the Hudson and Harlem lines as far as Putnam County. The original terminal was at 155th Street and 8th Avenue, Manhattan, with its own platform but sharing the structure of the Manhattan Railway's 6th and 9th Avenue Els. It crossed Putnam Bridge and ran alongside the Hudson Line as far as Kingsbridge. A branch line to Getty Square, Yonkers, was built under a rapid transit charter and opened in 1888.

Above info taken from THIS WEBSITE . Scroll down to the Putnam Line section for more info on the Getty Square Branch, which is somewhat depicted in my blip as an old bridge abutment in Van Cortlandt Park just in from the Mosholu Avenue entrance. A familiar sight to me since I started jogging a few months back.

Happy Father's Day DAD !!!!
