The Journal News of Westchester County reports the complete closure and replacement of the Third Avenue bridge in Mount Vernon over the four tracks of the former New Haven RR. It was constructed 120 years ago! Five questions:
1) If the cut there dates to 1900, how far towards Grand Central did steam haul the trains?
2) Was the cut electrified in 1912?
3) I know that Mount Vernon East station was moved east. How close was the previous location to this Third Street Bridge?
4) Where did the B cars of Yonkers Railway reverse?
5) I rode the #7 Yonkers Avenue line over Scotts Bridge. Did any bridge in downtown Mount Vernon have streetcars?
Thank you.
