Architectural Rendering of the Fifth Avenue Station of the New York,
Westchester & Boston Railroad in North Pelham Published in 1913
Once known as the "Million-Dollar-a-Mile Railroad" because it was so
expensive to build, the New York, Westchester & Boston Railroad once
crossed the Village of North Pelham. Opened in 1912, the Railroad
reportedly never made a profit and closed in 1937.
There was an interesting train station and giant overpass that carried
trains across Fifth Avenue in the Village of North Pelham. In 1913,
The Pelham Sun published a copy of the architectural rendering of the
new train station. An image of that rendering appears immediately below.
Source: Fifth Avenue Station, North Pelham, N.Y., W. & B. R. R.,
The Pelham Sun, 1913, p. 11, col. 6 (undated newspaper page in the
collections of the Office of The Historian of The Town of Pelham, NY;
digital copy in author's files).
