CSX on Arthur Kill lift bridge

The best thing they did was fix that bridge for the trains. Reduced truck traffic on the Goethals.

 

Something like 500 truck trips a week are avoided because of that bridge. :tup:

Very smart to reopen the AK; I cant quote any figures, but I'd venture a guess that 500 truck trips being eliminated weekly might be a little low; besides having rail service to Howland Hook Terminal, there is a spur to Fresh Kills to load compacted trash for shipment out of state.

Forward thinking! :cool: :tup:

I wasn't counting the trash trains actually! I don't think you could really truck that volume of trash, kinda impractical aside via train, so i only count the container/trailer trains, since those are, container for container taking one truck per container off the automobile bridge. :cool:
