The Pelham Park and City Island Railway was a short street railway in the Bronx, New York City, which connected City Island with the Bartow station of the Harlem River and Port Chester Railroad on the mainland. The line existed from 1884 to 1919, most of that time as a horse-drawn system. The mainland portion was converted to an electrically-driven monorail in 1910, unique in the country at the time, nicknamed The Flying Lady. Prior to the railway, a stagecoach operated between City Island and Mount Vernon.

Prior to the railway, a stagecoach operated between City Island and Mount Vernon. The railroad experienced two serious accidents, one during the horse-drawn era, and the second on the inaugural day of monorail service. The line was never a commercial success and eventually ceased operation when the company went bankrupt. (en)
