Title: If You Like Urban Street Trackage You Will Like This Site...NY Cross Harbor
Post by: TBurke on May 24, 2012, 07:51:05 AM

A great site full of street trackage photos and operations.  New York, not Chicago, but interesting either way.

Good article in the Wall Street Journal about this operation.

It would be cook to have a links page to other areas such as this.  (Although I know those take a lot of work to maintain.)

PS.  How's the southside page coming?

Tom Mann is the webmaster so it is on his schedule when a South Side section is added or a links page.  Either way, I hope it happens sooner than later.

Uhh...for all my searching, I think that site and this are both of 'em. But if I find any more, I'll link here.

I liked the pictures on the first one in particular. 

The late John Mika maintained a website and database of street running freight railroads past and present on the first version of this website until his death in early 2001.
