What about the steady stream of trucks coming in over the Verrazano. How many of those shipments would have gone by rail, if it didn't require the trip up to Selkirk to cross the Hudson...Maybe it's a chicken and egg problem. If the railroads could assemble a full train from north Jersey to LI every day, it wouldn't have to get reassembled in Selkirk and it could make the trip in 12 hours. Leave NJ in the late afternoon and get to LI before the rush starts at 5 AM there. |
