The Third Avenue Line, or Third Avenue Elevated, was an elevated railway in Manhattan and the Bronx, New York City, open in parts from 1878 to 1973. It passed into the ownership of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) and eventually the New York City Subway. Service in Manhattan closed completely in 1955, and in the Bronx in 1973. In 1875 the Rapid Transit Commission granted the New York Elevated Railway Company the right to construct the railway from Battery Park to the Harlem River along the Bowery and Third Avenue. The New York Elevated Railway Company at that time already operated the Ninth Avenue Elevated which it acquired in 1871 after the bankruptcy of the West Side and Yonkers Patent Railway. The Manhattan Railway Company took control of the New York Elevated Railroad in 1879.
