I'm a new member. One of my interests is the New York, Westchester & Boston (NYW&B). I'm posting links to some NYW&B photos I took to draw the attention of others here who share an interest in the Westchester & Boston. I grew up in White Plains. I live in Ithaca nowadays. I wish I hadn't missed the NYW&B Centennial at New Rochelle in 2012! I would have gotten to meet other fans in person! Did anyone take photos or videos at that event?

Here are some photo links:

Otto,
Some time back, on one of the threads relating to the NYW&B, I read of the remains of a catenary tower or substation that were still standing somewhere. There was an aerial view of said structure, pretty much surrounded by trees and bushes. I can't find the reference, nor do I remember where it was. Do you know what I'm referring to?

Yep, starlight park, West Farms (Bronx). Where the NY,W&B branched off from the NH main line. http://forgotten-ny.com/wp-content/uplo ... 06x380.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Amazing!

What's the structure in view just beyond it? I assume the tracks went straight through the spot where this structure now stands(?).

The structure behind is East 174 street
