The IRT Ninth Avenue Line, often called the Ninth Avenue El, was the first elevated railway in New York City. It opened in 1868 as the West Side and Yonkers Patent Railway, a cable-hauled line. It ceased operation in 1940. The last section in use, over the Harlem River, was known as the Polo Grounds Shuttle, and was closed in 1958. This portion used the now-removed Putnam Bridge swing bridge and went through a tunnel, complete with partially underground stations.

This is taken from the west side of 9th Avenue at 13th st. looking southeast toward Little West 12th St. . The white building across the tracks is still there:

In 1915, the line updated its express stops to a "hump express" configuration, where the center express track was elevated at the express stations. Wing and Son was a piano manufacturer located at between Hudson, 9th Ave and 13th St.
The 9th Ave. El was demolished in 1940.
