About the NYW&B Westchester Avenue Station
Located on Westchester Avenue in New York, the NYW&B Westchester Avenue Station is a tourist attraction dedicated to archiving the history of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway. This railway, which operated from 1912 to 1937, played a significant role in the transportation network of Westchester County and was backed by influential figures like J.P. Morgan.
As one of the most populous suburban areas of New York State, Westchester County saw a surge in railroads and trolley lines to accommodate commuters traveling between their homes in the county and jobs in New York City. The NYW&B Westchester Avenue Station preserves the memory of this once thriving railway, which has since been abandoned and reclaimed by nature.
Visitors to the NYW&B Westchester Avenue Station can learn about the history of the railway through exhibits, artifacts, and information about its impact on the region. The station serves as a reminder of a bygone era and the importance of transportation in shaping the development of Westchester County.

Reviews of NYW&B Westchester Avenue Station
"The old New York, Westchester, & Boston Railway once serviced what we would today consider suburban commuter trains for roughly 25 years. Running out of Grand Central Station in Manhattan, and once servicing the states of New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, the NY,W,&B saw low ridership and was decommissioned by 1940. Some of the steel infrastructure used to build the rail line was actually melted down and used to make weapons and machinery for the U.S. Armed Forces during WWII. It's interesting to note that the Dyre Avenue Line servicing the IRT#5 train is a remnant of that old railway. The Westchester Avenue Station house is a century old reminder of a bygone era in NYC transportation history. With the proposed Metro-North Penn Station link set to reestablish commuter service along the Eastern edge of The Bronx, one can only hope the city puts up money to rehab the once great structure!"
"I live near this place the entrance is all boarded up but on the bottom of the board there is a hole where you could see through"
"At this time it's undergoing construction in the area so it's congested."
"This c. 1912 landmark, one of a few New York Westchester & Boston Railway (NYW&B) stations still standing, should be preserved, renovated, and re-opened as a trackside railfan park and museum."
"I've been near this place. I wish I could go on one of those kinds of trains. Only been on the subway. Can't wait to see this place."
