Family Head Determined His Boat Must Pass Span
Ray Douglas a New York City building superintendent owns the 22 foot cabin cruiser Dottie moored near his summer camp in Peekskill. The Dottie could not pass the Hudson drawbridge as it had been solidly railed for sand barges eight years earlier. On Sunday the bridge opened at 10 30 am and 1 36 pm after a section crew removed 240 feet of track under railroad supervision. The crew replaced the track and waited three hours for the Dottie to pass back. Douglas plans more cruising and suggested keeping a section gang ready at the bridge. The railroad declined comment.
