Talk:Rail freight transportation in New York City and Long Island

The Hudson
Thanks for the very careful recent edits, but I'd quibble about one point. Most of what is written about this issue refers to the Hudson as the barrier. In fact much of the Hudson (i.e. up to Albany) is an obstacle, not just the North River section. I've added a mention of North River under History. --agr (talk) 21:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Bridging the Hudson
Various proposals were made to bridge the Hudson between Hudson County and Manhattan: namely, in 1890 between Hoboken and 23rd Street, and later between North Hudson and West 60s. The construction of piers in the river and/or lack of space to build approaches high enough for a suspension bridge, plus the unwillingness of competing railroads to share the enormous cost, made the project prohibitive. ref: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=pur1.32754082240767;num=3;seq=3;view=1up Djflem (talk) 14:55, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
