The '''New York, Westchester and Boston Railway Company''' ('''NYW&B''', also known to its riders as "'''the Westchester'''" and colloquially as the "'''Boston-Westchester'''"), is an electric commuter railroad in the Bronx and Westchester County, New York from 1912 to present. It runs from the southernmost part of the South Bronx, near the Harlem River, to Mount Vernon with branches north to White Plains and east to Port Chester. From 1906, construction and operation was under the control of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad (NH) until its bankruptcy in 1935. This article is an alternate history scenario if the full length of the NYW&B was never demolished, which means that the IRT Dyre Avenue Line would not have been built. It is currently the only privately-operated commuter rail system in the New York metropolitan area. ==Stations== {| class="wikitable" !City !Station !Miles (km) !Date opened !Date closed !Connections/notes |- |rowspan="11"|Bronx |[[Harlem River Terminal|Harlem River]] |0.0 (0) |August 3, 1912 | | |- |[[Port Morris station (NYW&B)|Port Morris]] |0.9 (1.4) |August 3, 1912 | | |- |[[Casanova station|Casanova]] |1.9 (3.1) |August 3, 1912 | | |- |[[Hunts Point station (Metro-North)|Hunts Point]] |2.6 (4.2) |August 3, 1912 | |Metro North Railroad:<br>New Haven Line |- |[[Westchester Avenue station|Westchester Avenue]] |3.2 (5.1) |August 2, 1912 | | |- |[[East 180th Street station|East 180th Street]] |4.4 (7.1) |May 29, 1912 | |New York City Subway: 2, 5 (at East 180th Street) |- |[[Morris Park station (Non-demolition edition)|Morris Park]] |5.5 (8.9) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[Pelham Parkway station (NYW&B, Non-demolition edition)|Pelham Parkway]] |5.9 (9.5) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[Gun Hill Road station (NYW&B, Non-demolition edition)|Gun Hill Road]] |6.7 (10.8) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[Baychester Avenue station (Non-demolition edition)|Baychester Avenue]] |7.6 (12.2) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[Dyre Avenue station (Non-demolition edition)|Dyre Avenue]] |8.3 (13.4) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |rowspan="4"|Mount Vernon |[[Kingsbridge Road station (NYW&B, Non-demolition edition)|Kingsbridge Road]] |8.6 (13.8) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[East Sixth Street station (Non-demolition edition)|East Sixth Street]] |9.2 (14.8) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[East Third Street station (Non-demolition edition)|East Third Street]] |9.8 (15.8) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[Columbus Avenue station (Non-demolition edition)|Columbus Avenue]] |10.3 (16.6) |May 29, 1912 | | |- !colspan="6"|Services split |- !colspan="6"|Service to Westchester Avenue |- |Mount Vernon |[[East Lincoln Avenue station (Non-demolition edition)|East Lincoln Avenue]] |10.7 (17.2) |July 1, 1912 | | |- |Eastchester |[[Chester Heights station (Non-demolition edition)|Chester Heights]] |11.6 (18.7) |July 1, 1912 | | |- |rowspan="2"|New Rochelle |[[Wykagyl station (Non-demolition edition)|Wykagyl]] |13.0 (20.9) |July 1, 1912 | | |- |[[Quaker Ridge station (Non-demolition edition)|Quaker Ridge]] |15.1 (24.3) |July 1, 1912 | | |- |New Rochelle/Scarsdale |[[Heathcote station (Non-demolition edition)|Heathcote]] |16.0 (25.7) |July 1, 1912 | | |- |rowspan="4"|White Plains |[[Ridgeway station (Non-demolition edition)|Ridgeway]] |17.5 (28.2) |1929 | | |- |[[Gedney Way station (Non-demolition edition)|Gedney Way]] |18.3 (29.5) |1913-1914 | | |- |[[Mamaroneck Avenue (Non-demolition edition)|Mamaroneck Avenue]] |18.9 (30.4) |July 1, 1912 | | |- |[[Westchester Avenue Terminal (Non-demolition edition)|Westchester Avenue]] |19.5 (31.4) |July 1, 1912 | | |- !colspan="6"|Service to Port Chester |- |Pelham |[[Fifth Avenue station (NYW&B, Non-demolition edition)|Fifth Avenue]] |11.0 (17.7) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |Pelham / New Rochelle |[[Pelhamwood station (Non-demolition edition)|Pelhamwood]] |11.3 (18.2) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |rowspan="3"|New Rochelle |[[Remington Place station (Non-demolition edition)|Remington Place]] |11.7 (18.8) |May 29, 1912 | | |- |[[North Avenue station (NYW&B, Non-demolition edition)|North Avenue]] |12.2 (19.6) |March 20, 1921 | | |- |[[Pine Brook station (Non-demolition edition)|Pine Brook]] |13.0 (20.9) |March 20, 1921 | | |- |Larchmont |[[Larchmont station (Non-demolition edition)|Larchmont]] |14.0 (22.5) |March 20, 1921 | |Metro-North Railroad: New Haven Line<br>Bee-Line Bus System: 60, 61, 66, 70, 71 |- |rowspan="2"|Mamaroneck |[[Larchmont Gardens station (Non-demolition edition)|Larchment Gardens]] |14.8 (23.8) |1926 | | |- |[[Mamaroneck station (Non-demolition edition)|Mamaroneck]] |15.8 (25.4) |March 21, 1926 | |Metro-North Railroad: New Haven Line<br>Bee-Line Bus System: 60, 61 |- |rowspan="2"|Harrison |[[West Street station (NYW&B, Non-demolition edition)|West Street]] |16.8 (27.0) |1927 | | |- |[[Harrison station (Non-demolition edition)|Harrison]] |17.6 (28.3) |July 3, 1927 | |Metro-North Railroad: New Haven Line<br>Bee-Line Bus System: 5, 61 |- |Rye |[[Rye station (Non-demolition edition)|Rye]] |19.4 (31.2) |July 1, 1928 | |Metro-North Railroad: New Haven Line<br>Bee-Line Bus System: 61, 75 |- |Port Chester |[[Port Chester station (Non-demolition edition)|Port Chester]] |20.9 (33.6) |December 7, 1929 | |Metro-North Railroad: New Haven Line<br>Bee-Line Bus System: 13, 61<br>CT Transit Stamford: 11A, 11B, 311, 311B |} [[Category:USA Railroads Fanon Wiki]]
