Hello Bobby (O Gauge)
Here is MORE information on each of those photos
BELOW PHOTO is looking west on E. 116th Street towards the 3rd Avenue and the Uptown E. 116th Street Local Station house of the 3rd Ave EL in 1914. The Steel Viaduct for the four-track NY Central RR line along Park Avenue is seen 2 blocks to the west
BELOW PHOTO -- is NOT the E. 138th Street Station
This IS the E. 183rd Street Downtown Local Station house on the 3rd Avenue EL, Bronx. There was NO uptown station house. The Uptown platform was accessed from the fare payment point via station agent booth in the downtown station house, then via the under-tracks elevated passageway over 3rd Avenue to the northbound platform seen behind the left stairway. The year is circa Sept. 1973 and the station is closed as the Entire Bronx 3rd Ave EL Remnant from E.149th Street to Gun Hill Road terminal, was closed permanently on April 29, 1973 and demolished in segments between 1974 thru 1976
BELOW PHOTO is looking west along W. 238th Street to Broadway and the above IRT Broadway-Van Cortlant Park EL and its uptown E.238th Street Local Station (IRT #1, 3 lines). The noted Riverdale Diner (I ate there many times over the past 50 years) is seen at left center behind the El pillars for the downtown station house
BELOW PHOTO is a decades ago recreation re-make (from original plans) of one of the IRT KIOSKS located on an island sidewalk at Astor Place Subway Station, lower Manhattan. This was wider and longer than the usual IRT Subway Station Kiosks from 1904 era. (Regards - Joe F)
