Seems that I heard that MOW equipment and new cars has to be trucked in that the connection is OOS...Seems that I have seen NYC subway cars flying down I-81 to the city via flatbed.

This rail/subway connection was used for delivery of some or all of the IRT Redbirds as documented by a news photo that appeared in the early 1960s in Trains Magazine. I don't know when the Bronx connection was removed, but it was quite a few years ago.
