Quickest Way Across - a photo on Flickriver

            The New York and New Jersey Railway is one of two surviving example of a car float left in the lower 48 United States, which bridges the gap between the New York market to points west. With the only other rail access point to New York City being via Selkirk, NY, the car float saves time by cutting a 260 mile journey up and down the Hudson River into a 3.5 mile trip across the Upper New York Bay.

Today's special guest across the bay is New York and Atlantic Railway MP15AC 151, which is being transported from Fresh Pond Yard in Queens to Metro East Industries in East Saint Louis, IL. Locomotives are generally not floated across the bay, so seeing one being transported via barge instead of traveling via Selkirk is a rare treat.
