How come the NYS&W was allowed to weld the bridges shut across Overpeck Creek and the Hackensack River, along with removing the electric motors? There's almost no commercial traffic on the river up there now, but locking the bridges in place prevents recreational/taxpaying boaters the opportunity to get up there. It seems to me that this obviously saves money for the railroad, but at the boating public expense. My guess is that there are other railroad bridges throughout NJ that have been welded shut to the same effect.
