Does CSX have any street trackage in the Bronx to serve its local customers? Thanks.

Maybe years ago; I remember street trackage down around the Hell Gate Bridge (forgive me if I have Hell or Hells Gate bridge wrong - I can never remember) around Hunts Point, but that may have been NH days. There's also long disconnected tracks around Bronx Terminal Market, which I guess would have been Central days. I can't think of any active track now. There is technically street trackage for CSX in Mamaroneck to Marval Industries; one of the freight sidings does run along a side street.

At one time years ago there was a little bit of street trackage (a block or two) in Harlem River but that was long gone before CSX came on the scene. I don't think there is any today in New York City.

Not so much street running as 'next to the street running' is the line over to hunts point market, which is still very much active. Many reefers and covered hoppers.
