Pelham Bay Park, Bronx This article has been viewed 2835 times in the last 19 months Sean Hopkins: 4th Apr 2009 - 23:50 GMTNice! I love posts like this. I'd like to check that place out myself. CartLegger: 5th Apr 2009 - 01:58 GMTYeah, very cool! This looks like a great place to poke about. Using www.wikimapia.org Is there a lot of train traffic passsing here? I'm a li'l cautious about getting to near very fast and quiet amtrak trains... ntatap: 6th Apr 2009 - 02:20 GMTThis station is hidden in plain sight. Its about 100 feet from the road and can be seen from the passing Amtrak trains. The station is set back from the active rails and seperated by a chainlink fence. As long as you stay on the station side of the fence your ok. The station is not fenced off and is in the park so its just a mater of walking down to it. The other stations along that line are either fenced off or being used for some other purpose. One is a shooting range, one is a row of stores.
Peter Quinones: 10th Apr 2009 - 12:59 GMTI see this place everyday from the road. Haven't got a chance to see it up close. ntatap: 6th May 2009 - 22:36 GMTI was told that this station was not designed by Cas Gilbert. He designed some of the other stations on this line but this is not one of them. I was also told that after it was closed as a railroad station it was used as a gun range until it burned down. Peter: 6th May 2009 - 23:16 GMTive read this post over and over. im pretty sure an upcoming outing will include a visit to this place :)

Anthony Chuck : 21st Jun 2009 - 22:41 GMTThe monorail ran about for four years despite a major derailment at its initial run. The overhead support system was questionable in its design and was not substantial in construction due to cost limitations. The designer was Howard Tunis, a member of prominent Baltimore family. Peter Quinones: 4th Jul 2009 - 21:12 GMTthat the only thing left of the monorail is a small brick power sub station near Glovers Rock near the road into the Orchard Beach parking lot. Anthony Ok, I've seen the small brick power station many times. It's almost invisible in the summer with the bushes. There might be also something left of the monorail and that could be behind Glovers Rock where some historian found concrete footings for what he believes is for the monorail.
