STATEN ISLAND HEAVY RAIL
Tottenville, Holiday Quiet |

Cars wait for another time on a
storage track at Tottenville in this view. During the brief
minor-league season of the Staten Island Yankees, SIR operates shuttles
between St. George and Stadium before and after special events games.
It's a very short run along the former North Shore branch.
That entire line, which connects with trackage in New Jersey and which
hasn't seen Staten Island passenger traffic in over a half century, had been
completely out of
service since the early 1990s. A portion of it was restored in
2006 to provide freight service at the Howland Hook Marine Terminal along Arthur Kill.
Initial planning is underway evaluating options for rebuilding a new
North Shore passenger route. |
