Down off of Oak Point Yard near Harlem River is a freight customer called S&S soap. They get about 1 covered hopper a month. The catenary bridges are still intact above their spur.That's great info, didn't know that. Does anyone know why they took out the connection to the NEC at 180th St.? They could probably have put a subway line in there and over the Hells Gate to Queens and Manhattan via the 7 or N/R.
Although the Hell's Gate was never part of the NYW&B (maybe that would have made a difference), I'm curious as to what trackage is in place over it. Did they take out a couple of tracks? What about the Queens trackage from Hell's Gate to Sunnyside? How many tracks?
By the way, since you are obviously a beer connoisseur and have great taste, I before E except after C and in the German Language: WARSTEINER HEFE WEISSE. I take no responsibility for my American spelling. I love that beer! You obviously have good taste.
Or as we say auf Deutsch, Du hast gut Geschmack. Bitte ein Warsteiner Herr Kellner!
Next stop, Willoughby
