Posted by MainR3664 on Fri Jul 20 14:42:52 2012, in response to 65th St (Brooklyn) Rail Yard Reopens as City’s Freight Trains Rumble Into Wider Use, posted by Gold_12TH on Fri Jul 20 12:18:02 2012. This is fantastic news!!! Whie rail can't bring all frieght (consider local delivery), it certainkly will enable NYC to either:1) Reduce the number of big trucks crossing the bridges, and causing havoc with breakdowns, jackknifes, and diesel fumes spewed as they idle....and all the exnhaust from all the oTHER vehicles delayed on account of said trucks OR 2) Allow NYC to bring even MORE freight than it does not now and become wore vibrant- without a concurrent increase in truck traffic. Either way, a win-win. By the way, as much as I love the High Line Park (and I do), it's too bad that the line couldn't have been kpet intact all the way to St. John's Terminal and used to bring reight and mail/packages into and out of Manhattan with so many trucks. Just imagine if UPS and FedEx had service to ehir Manhattan terminals by rail instead of tactor-trailer. The line could also have been used for export of garbage, just like on Staten Island... |
