I am a former resident of New York City (Da Bronx). The other day I got
into a discussion with a friend about the history of the Dyer Avenue
shuttle. I know that until the 40s it was a rail line. There are many
vestiges of the old line that are still visible. I can remember seeing
pieces of the old roadbed in Westchester County. Unfortunately there is
now housing and factories on the roadbed.

My friend says that the old railroad went as far north as Boston. It
eventually went out of business because the southern terminus was in
the Bronx and they couldn't get any trains into Manhattan. Can anyone
tell me anything about the original railroad.

		Regards,
			Fred
