As a young Coast Guardsman in the mid-1970's, I was stationed on a cutter homeported at Governors Island in New York. Governors Island is in the East River between the southern tip of Manhattan and Brooklyn. I used to enjoy going up to the ship's flying bridge and watching the activity of the New York Dock Railway in Brooklyn through the large binoculars.
I knew that there were extensive railway lines serving the New York harbor area at one time but never realized how extensive they were until I was directed to this website. Those of you with an interest in industrial and switching lines will, hopefully, find this website as fascinating as I have.
