This space was used by the New York, Westchester and Boston [NYW&B] from 1909 to its closure in 1937 to bring trains from its Harlem River terminus to points north. The catenary towers and overpasses are still in place. For some time after the NYW&B's closure a single track remained in place for freight customers along that stretch of tracks, and in fact, is still in place - near where the NYNH&H turned away from the Hell Gate Bridge the track merges with the portion of NYNH&H track not built upon into the Harlem River yard..
