From what I understand, floats were brought all the way over from Jersey City. LV maintained a large warehouse inthe Bronx at the terminal, which I think survives today as a U-Haul warehouse. It's visible from the Metro-North trains as you cross the Harlem River. Either way, it sounds like operations wound down in the Bronx by the early 1970s.

Just to clear things up Otto, but I do belive you are thinking about the DL&W's Harlem Transfer. The LV (and Erie) were upriver at the 149th/145th St Bridge. The HT was practically right up against the old drawbridge (not the current one) See MRP 2007.
