Now those were the "Good Ol' Days". Was that a Railroad Line behind them in the photo? Does anyone know what Railway ran thru the West Side of Yonkers during those days? (I know it wasn't the old Putnam line, as that ran thru the Bryn Mawr section of Yonkers)

No.....that's the Getty Sq. branch of the Old Put.

Thanks Chief for the information. I did not know that there was a Getty Square extension off of the old Putnam Line. Now that's a piece of Yonkers History!

Interesting. I didn't even know an elevated line went through Yonkers. What year was the photo taken by the way? My guess would be somewhere in the 20's?
