Ok lets assume a carload of lumber, for argument sake is destined for a consignee on Long Island. Day one, It arrives in Jersey, switched out & up to Selkirk. Day two, calssified there & sent down the east side of the Hudson to oak Point. Day three, sent down to Fresh Pond to the NYAR. Day four, delivered.With a cross harbor tunnel, day one lands in New Jersey, day two, jersey to Fresh Pond, day three delivered. Day saved with tunnel, at least. Multiply that times thousands of carloads per year, time savings add up. Nuff Said |
