"Boxes & a Sparkplug on the New York Bay"
On the evening of June 23rd, 2021, New York & Atlantic Railway MP15AC 151 is seen passing the 1883 "sparkplug" style Robbins Reef Light Station while entering the New Jersey side of the Upper New York Bay on one of New York New Jersey Rail's car float barges. The locomotive is on its way to Metro East Industries in East St. Louis, Illinois for rebuild, upgrades and repaint.
New York New Jersey (NYNJ) Rail's Marine Rail Division serves as bridge route for freight rail traffic moving across the Hudson River between Greenville, New Jersey and Brooklyn, New York. It is one of the last remaining car float operations in North America.
