Freight on Manhatten Island

I don't believe any freight directly goes into Manhattan except by truck. No freight goes into Manhattan from the Penn Station tunnels except for express carried by Amtrak (and I believe Amtrak trains pick up their freight in Philadelphia) or over Amtrak's west side line, and the carfloat service connects Brooklyn and Port Elizabeth. The last RR freight came down the west side line to the New York Times plant on W 59 St, and when that closed, the Penn Central abandoned the line where it sat dormant until Amtrak revived it in the early ninties. <br />John Kelley, Manhattan, New York City
