New Haven and Pennsylvania Plan Hell Gate Bridge Connection
A conference between New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad and Pennsylvania Railway officials discussed a connecting line via a four track Hell Gate bridge. The project, funded by the New York Connecting Company and shared by the two railways, could cost about 25 million dollars with a 1000 foot central span. Freight would use the Bay Ridge line while passengers move to the Pennsylvania terminal. Land purchases and rights of way totalled about 3.6 thousand dollars so far.
