Before there were rail tunnels crossing under the Hudson River into New York from New Jersey,
trains from the Midwest cattle farms packed with meat had to stop on the Jersey side of the Hudson River.

The rail cars were then loaded onto barges via float bridges and the barges would be brought
by tug boat across to New York.

the rail cars were brought to their West side yard to be sorted into trains.
