I'm sorry Olog, I realized that I came back just a little too tense, let me re-word that:Howland Hook yard was always a freight yard for the Howland Hook Marine Terminal. Although passenger operation ceased on the NSL branch in 1953, freight trains still ran to Howland Hook up until 1990. Afterwards, it became abandoned but as of 2004, they began revitalizing all the structures and bridges from about Port Richmond train station up to Bayway and Elizabeth in Jersey. They revitalized the Arthur Kill Rail Bridge, and put in new track on the West Shore Line and even a little past Howland Hook over near Arlington. Freight trains should be up and running, I think late this year or next year. |
