I can't read so I just enjoyed the pictures which are terrific. That old PATH Power House is awesome. It's a treat to get these perspectives!

Tough read, great idea. The article mentions the Erie and Pennsylvania. NYC also had a terminus for the B&O (I don't know about the fourth Monopoly RR). I once read that on the Western edge of Staten Island the B&O railroad had a terminal. I just checked google maps and it looks like near the SI side of the Goethals a rail line extended from NJ. I have never been over there, but it is also adjacent to the waterway (Arthur Kills?) and might be of interest.

It seems like an interesting article, but it is so hard to read.

I don't usually join in on this game, but goddamn you need an editor.
