| 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. |
