9th avenue elevated- the bronx

These locations are remnants of the 9th Avenue El, which ran in the Bronx and Manhattan. Forgotten tracks and platforms stand today as memorials of the first elevated rapid transit line in the world.

     
     
 
    a portion of the elevated line cut short
     
     
 
    at the end, a tunnel has been sealed up

blatant disregard for the law   deep into the dark tracks
     
     
 

steps to nowhere
