Baltimore and Ohio Wins Entry to New York Harbor
A New York Associated Press dispatch reports the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has secured access to New York by linking with the Rapid Transit line on Staten Island. The plan leverages ferries from the Battery to St George with new docks and piers, a proposed Arthur Kill drawbridge, and a route via Bound Brook to Elizabeth and into New York, bypassing Jersey Central connections.
