About the Business
Welcome to NYW&B Larchmont Gardens Station, your gateway to discovering the rich history of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway. Located at 90 Harmon Drive, Larchmont, New York 10538, our business is dedicated to archiving and preserving the fascinating story of a railroad that once played a pivotal role in shaping Westchester County.
Nestled just north of New York City, Westchester County has long been a bustling suburban area, accommodating the daily commute of countless residents working in the city. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the demand for efficient transportation led to the development of new railroads and trolley lines. Among these was the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway, a project steeped in intrigue and backed by influential figures like J.P. Morgan.
Though the railway operated for a brief period from 1912 to 1937, its impact on the region was significant. After its closure, much of the line was abandoned, sold, and forgotten. Portions of the railway in the Bronx were later integrated into the New York City Subway in 1941, while other sections have been reclaimed by nature, their traces slowly fading with time.
At NYW&B Larchmont Gardens Station, we strive to keep the memory of this important chapter in local history alive. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about the legacy of this once-thriving railway, we invite you to explore our collection and learn more about the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway's enduring influence on the community. Visit us and step back in time to experience a unique piece of Westchester County's past.
