Otto:
My friend and I were inside Kingsbridge station in 1974 all the way over to the Dyre Ave. bound side. Sorry to say there were no turnstiles or anything else associated with our Westchester. Some rubble here and there but thats about it.
Also, we were inside East Third street station again with very little to be reconizable associated with the Westchester.
Here's something that may interest you Otto. The bridge in front of East Third street station has a small road to the left of it going down to track level. If you go there next time, at the bottom of the hill, look to your right and you can see under the bridge an insulator for the overhead wires stiil attached to the concrete under the bridge. That would be the local Colombus Ave. side. No one ever bothered to remove it and it sits there all these years wondering what happened to all those wonderful trains that used to pass beneath it. I know it is very lonely there all by it self. It's sad, isn't it !
I passed by the Sixth street station (Sanford Blvd.) in 1974 just before "THEY" tore it down.
