"Trains" Magazine, December 1940 |
| Description: |
Here is a photo taken by Noel Hiram Deeks. It was published originally in the December 1940 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 21. Photo Caption: "Manhattan is one of those places that 'just growed.' For years arrivals on the Pennsylvania had to cross town by taxi, on foot, or via subway to get to the New Haven trains. In 1914 construction was started to connect Sunnyside Yards, PRR coach yards on Long Island, with the main line of the New Haven in the Bronx. This involved the building of a four-track bridge costing 19 million dollars over the narrows at Hell Gate. The steel span of 977 ft. was the largest in the world when the bridge was opened to traffic in 1917. With approaches, the total length is 3-1/2 miles." Photo taken from the Queens side of the East River. |

Here is an aerial photo from the Culver Service. It was published originally in the January 1948 issue of "Railroad" magazine, page 9. Photo Caption: "Hell Gate, entrance to New York City, as viewed from the air over Long Island Sound. Next to the Bayonne Bridge, this two-hinged steel arch is the longest span of its kind in the world." The tracks to New York City and points South are to the left of the span, while those to New Haven and points North curve toward the photo's bottom. The open spaces on the opposite shore are now filled with houses and apartment buildings, while a sewage processing plant now occupies the open space near the curved right-of-way. |
