The Poughkeepsie bridge was a shame, but it likely wouldn't serve much purpose today. That route is twisty and windy, and doesn't really do anything for NYC proper, due to the route to get to the bridge. I suppose it would have helped keep more carload business in CT, but that's about it. It was a feeder for Cedar Hill, along with the car floats, but virtually all of that business is gone, because the industries that supported it are gone. What we need is the Cross-Harbor Tunnel combined with aggressive intermodal services. |
