message: This address, supposedly for the Mosholu Yard, puts me at :File:Concourse Yard washer jeh.jpg which says it's the Concourse Yard.  Has something gone wrong? - Jim.henderson
: Not that I can spot.  The photograph you took of the washer is indeed in the Concourse Yard.  The Jerome Yard is just north of the Concourse Yard.  In photographs the Concourse Yard is the yard with tracks exposed to the sky and partially bordered by the 1933 built Art Deco style "yellow" brick buildings that, with aging, now appear darker and some I'd say are orange.  By way of contrast the Jerome/Mosholu Yard, which lies to the north of the 205th Street viaduct, is almost completely covered — around the sides by a 1 to 3 story high textured concrete block wall that is capped by a tall leaning fence that rests against the edges of the roof.  The roof of Jerome Yard serves as a parking deck for the adjacent Tracey Towers apartment complex.  It strikes me as unlikely that a non MTA employee could easily gain enough access to Jerome Yard to be able to photograph trains stored on tracks in the yard.  There is a post of the Transit Police at one of the entrance gates and the MTA capital improvement drive just recently beefed up the fencing around both Jerome and Concourse yards. However, it should be possible to take photographs of the driveway entrances to the Jerome Yard (the signs I saw recently identify it only as "Jerome Yard" and I did not see any signs reading "Mosholu Yard") as well as the elevated track that leads down into the yard. As I've mentioned in the article the elevated track sits atop stone and mortar masonry supports – quite unusual older structures in the subway system.  I will soon try to post coords for the two adjacent yards in the article to help distinguish them better.  In Google's aerial photographs the tracks of Concourse Yard are clearly visible, but Jerome is "hidden" underneath the parking deck that lies between Scott Towers and Tracey Towers. Jerome Yard is just to the east, on Paul Avenue, of the athletic fields for Bronx Science and Clinton High School. By the way, the old brick building (with numerous arched windows) that lies along and just west of Jerome Avenue, south of its intersection with W Mosholu Pkwy S, and east of the Jerome Yard; is a disused water pumphouse that was originally connected to the Jerome Park Reservoir. It was superseded by the more modern (albeit smaller) Art Deco style buildings that lie around it. 69.115.42.244 (talk) 22:08, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

text: Splendid. When I biked past there, years ago on my way to Van Cortlandt Park, the pumphouse article hadn't been written and I didn't have the smartphone with GPS that nowadays shows me the Wikicoordinates of articles, so I jumped to a conclusion from inadequate information. Maybe I should correct the picture filename, too. Odd that a pump house should be so long, shaped as a railcar shop should be. Later this week I'll be in a morning hurry with a biker gang pedalling South County Trailway to Scarsdale but perhaps on the way back instead of sticking with the high speed convoy through the South Bronx I'll peel off at Bronx Park and revisit this site with bright western sun and better knowledge. But, y'know, cameras are small and cheap. If you don't have a camera phone you should carry a point-and-shoot camera when you visit an articled place that you understand better than others of us do.

message: My initial reference source was "Tracks of the New York City Subway" by Peter Douhgtery, but something was not correct in that he had tracks 11-18 as being in the shop building (this has been corrected in subsequent additions of the book).  A visual "inspection" from a passing train before entering the E180th St station shows there are only 6 tracks in the shop building and are actually numbered 11 thru 16 on the outside of the building from the track side. I also used the satellite view of the area using Google maps and counted the storage tracks to the immediate east of the shop building.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.88.10 (talk) 18:16, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
