Bronx Metro North Stations?

If they go through with building the stations will you move back?

Actually, the Bronx seems to be doing quite well and is generally nothing like it was in the late 1970's.

Both the Hudson line and the combined New Haven/Harlem line (before they split) have stops in the Bronx. The new Yankee Stadium stop is really very popular when there are ballgames. And there is a very large new shopping center (Best Buy, Target, etc.) right across the tracks from it. It only took about 90 years for there to be a Yankee Stadium stop since Yankee Stadium was built. And just so you understand how close the tracks are to Yankee Stadium, there have long been parking lots on both sides of the track.

This article is talking about an entirely new line with stops built along the Amtrak line that splits off the New Haven line at New Rochelle  and then goes into Penn Station (over the **** Gate bridge). Well, if they do that, at least you'll know that it wasn't made in China.

The New Haven ran commuter service into Penn Station on this line until around 1933.

In the South Bronx they shared stations with the NYW&B (Hunt's Point and Westchester Avenue are 2 that I can think of off the top of my head...but there were a few more).  There is still a remnant of a lineside station building along the tracks in the Morris Park area.

This is the overpass at Eastchester Rd by Jacobi Hospital/Albert Einstein. This was a station stop, too  When I was a kid I vaguely remember that there was stairwell up to the tracks, gone now.
