Train Yards and Layups

ESPLANADE

This lay-up is located on New York City's IRT number 5 line in The Bronx at the Morris Park/Esplanade station. It houses 5s and 2s. It is a double track layup, utilizing two non-service tracks which lie between the north and southbound tracks.

The layup is divided into two sections. The first section is known as "The Stick Out". It is an above ground layup extending southward from the Morris Park station. This area has several large steel dividers. These dividers are ideal to climb when executing whole cars. The second section of the layup is located within the tunnel between the Morris Park and Pelham Parkway stations. This area has climbable concrete dividers making it a desirable place to paint.
