Pleasantville station was not moved. It is in the same location it was before the tracks were lowered. I remember the tracks at street level when I was a child. My dad was a cake baker and he had a friend who owned a bakery in Pleasantville right across from the station. We would go to visit him often. So I remember when the cut was dug out.

Also, there was a coal siding at the Woodlawn station. It was where the little parking lot is right now on the southbound side.

Also, there was freight activity east of Wakefield in the Bronx and just south of the Mt. Vernon station. That switch was just removed a few years ago.

That's a great revelation --- that P'ville station is in its original spot!! I never would have guessed
