CNJ's Newark bay draw

[e-paw]

While I was in town I stopped by the public library to do some more research on DY draw. All in all it was a very productive stop. In a hours time is was able to uncover a few old news paper clips about the bridge.



What the article leaves out was that the Mayor used the time of the arrest to halt the demolition of the bridge as he was in Washington begging and pleading to Congress to leave the bridge standing. He felt that in 10 to 20 years it will be needed. WOW what a smart man, NS-CSX would love a 4 track bridge to get across the bottleneck that is the Newark bay. In today's economy new construction of a bridge on that scale is imposable. His cries were on deaf ears and demo continue.





I was unable to find any info on the collision of the French freighter SS Washington of 1966. I have not been able to narrow it down to a specific day that will help me in my search, I'll keep trying.
