New York New Jersey Rail, LLC
New York New Jersey Rail, LLC is a switching and terminal railroad〔Association of American Railroads, (About the Industry: Railroads and States ), 2006, accessed December 2008〕 that operates the only car float operation across Upper New York Bay between Jersey City, New Jersey and Brooklyn, New York. Since mid-November 2008, it has been owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which acquired it for about $16 million as a step in a process that might see a Cross-Harbor Rail Tunnel completed. Since freight trains are not allowed in Amtrak's North River Tunnels, and the Poughkeepsie Bridge was closed in 1974, the ferry is the only freight crossing of the Hudson River south of the Alfred H. Smith Memorial Bridge, to the north of New York City (see Selkirk hurdle).
It is the last remaining car float operation in the Port of New York and New Jersey.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/14/nyregion/port-authority-looks-to-19th-century-technology-to-cope-with-a-21st-century-problem.html?_r=1〕
==Operations==
NYNJ leases approximately of land at Conrail's Greenville Yard in Greenville, Jersey City, where it connects with Class I railroads CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway, which jointly operate Conrail's North Jersey Shared Assets Area. On the Bay Ridge, Brooklyn end, the Bush Terminal Yard and the 65th Street Yard connect to the New York and Atlantic Railway's Bay Ridge Branch and the South Brooklyn Railway. The 2.5 mile barge trip across the harbor takes approximately 45 minutes. The equivalent trip by truck is 35-50 miles.〔(NYRR 10-K SEC filing for 2003 )〕
As of 2012, the NYNJ system moves approximately 1,500 rail cars across the harbor per year. Port Authority officials suggested that the system can transport as many as 25,000 cars annually.〔(NJTPA Freight Committee, October 2012 )〕 NYNJ replaced two EMD GP38-2 with three low-emission locomotives from Knoxville Locomotive Works in Tennessee for $5 million. As of July, the system had moved about 4900 rail cars in 2015.〔http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2015/08/transporting_rail_cars_by_barge_to_keep_trucks_off.html#incart_river〕
