Ok well then this begs the question. If there was a physical connection to the LI and NH at Hells gate bridge, why was anything floated at all? It just seems dumb, if you have a land line way to get there everything should use it.

  Nelligan is incorrect. I don't think you'll even find tariffs that would 
  allow sucgh a move, even if a shpper attempted to route that way.

  As I wrote earlier, this was always the despair of regional planners, 
  because even most NH-LIRR freight went from Port Morris to LIC via float; 
  some NH-NYC traffic even went 60th St to Port Morris with a track connection 
  in the Bronx.

  Now I've been at this business long enough to know that someone can cite an 
  exception -- but this was simply not an interchange gateway, Even the PRR 
  floated LIRR traffic from Greenville to LIC. The LIRR did no interchange for 
  its own account at Bay Ridge.
