Anyone know where New York City's garbage is loading into these trains? It must be a filthy operation, yet the train leaves clean and sealed. In the 1990's, as the court imposed closing date of Staten Island's (NYC) huge Fresh Kills landfill was approaching, a plan was devoloped to barge the garbage across the Arthur Kill to Linden, NJ (where I grew up). The barges were to enter a huge, enclosed building, to be built at one of Linden's closed chemical plants. Inside, the garbage would be transfered into sealed containers for rail (Conrail's Chemical Coast Secondary) or truck ( a special access road was to built to the NJ Turnpike [I-95] to avoid additional truck traffic in town). And off to landfills in Ohio, West Virginia, etc the garbage would go. The residents of Linden were assured that they would smell absolutely nothing, and would see not one piece of garbage on the land or in the water. Beaucoup tax dollars would be generated for the City of Linden. The plan crashed and burned as corruption charges started flying in different directions. Jim
