All of the photos below are from the Historic American Buildings Survey Repository at the Library of Congress, Prints and Photograph Division, in Washington, D.C. Photos were taken by Stephen L. Senigo May 1988, as a preliminary portion of a project called the Mid-Harlem Station Improvements. Each of the eight stations to receive improvements were photographed and researched. The research was written into a report, and contained Physical History, Historical Context, and Architectural Information about the station. Diagrams of the station and the improvements come at the end of the report. All of this information was retrieved digitally from the Library of Congress’ American Memory site.

Just in case you aren’t paying attention to my posts over on Twitter, the Harlem Line has some big delays today. Around two hours ago, there were 15–20 minute delays between North White Plains and Wassaic due to trees fouling the tracks near Hawthorne. The issues with downed trees got bad enough that about an hour ago service was suspended in both directions from North White Plains to Brewster. The newest update from Metro North is that there will be continued delays in both directions, and passengers will be bused between Pleasantville and Mount Kisco. If you are going to be riding the trains this afternoon, Metro North’s Train Time may be helpful. If you aren’t already, signing up for MTA alerts is also a good idea. I of course will be reposting those alerts on twitter whenever they become available. (Even though Metro North has a twitter account now, they don’t seem to be posting that information there).
