*149TH STREET-GRAND CONCOURSE*
(the White Plains Road Line is a rapid transit line of the IRT division of the ‘New York City Subway’ serving the central ‘Bronx’)
(it is mostly elevated and served both subway and elevated trains until 1952)
(the original part of the line, the part opened as part of the first subway was called the ‘West Farms Division’, and the extension north to 241st Street as part of the ‘Dual Contracts’ was called the ‘White Plains Road Line’)
(eventually, however, the two parts came to be known as the ‘White Plains Road Line’)
(it is currently being used by the 2 as the local at all times and the 5 as the local at all times except rush hours in peak direction (when it runs express between ‘East 180th Street’ and ‘Third Avenue–149th Street’) and late nights (when it runs as a shuttle between ‘Eastchester–Dyre Avenue’ and ‘East 180th Street’))
