  Good job filming this. (They need to restore the Staten Island Railroad into St George from Arlington Yard) The North Shore Subdivision doesn't end at the SI Ferry Terminal in St George, but rather south of Clifton Station at the foot of Willow Ave and Langere Pl, opposite the tracks from Garber's Do It Best Hardware & Building Supplies. (The remains of a coal dump trestle from the time of when the Hawkins Coal co still stand on this property) This is where "Clifton Junction" once was and where the East Shore Line to South Beach diverged from the "mainline". (The St George bound platform at Clifton Station once had an interlocking tower, until it was demolished in the late 1980s) South of Clifton JCT, the Perth Amboy Subdivision began. (Most locals calls the St George - Tottenville portion of the railroad the "South Shore Line") The East Shore Line saw complete abandonment after the elimination of commuter rail service to South Beach on 3/31/1953. The North Shore Subdivision between St George Yard, (where the Empire Outlets Mall and a parking garage now sits ) and Arlington Yard remained open, following the elimination of commuter rail service between St George and Mariners Harbor, east of Arlington Yard. This became a non electrified, non signaled, single track freight only line, until the Staten Island Railroad was abandoned form St George to Cranford Junction on March 9th, 1991. (Proctor & Gamble, the Staten Island Railroad's biggest freight customer, closed their Port Ivory Plant and moved this operation to Mexico) In 1955, both the "Third Rail" and the signal system were removed from both the East Shore Line and the North Shore between St George and the Arlington Stations. (The North Shore became "Dark Territory" between St George and the Arthur Kill Rail Bridge) Sometime around the late 1950s, or early 60s, the Arlington bound tracks were removed from east of Arlington Yard, to the St George Yard. However, a portion of the second main was allowed to remain near the site of where US Gipson had a plant between Jersey St and Lafayette Ave on Richmond Terr. (Now the site of Atlantic Salt) This was used as a siding track, as there were a pair of "trailing point" switches that formed a cross over for the covered cement hoppers that brought the gipson, asbestos and other materials needed to manufacture "Sheet Rock", Plaster of Paris and joint compound etc. (US Gipson filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy around 1977 and their Staten Island plant was closed) In the 1980s, the Staten Island Railroad served Proctor & Gamble's Port Ivory Plant, as well as Terminal Lumber in Mariners Harbor, near the abandoned Lake Ave Station. (Historically, this was the site of Arthur Dreyer & Sons Lumber and Coal and there's still a coal silo that stands on the site today) In Elm Park about Granite Ave, was a paper manufacturer called "Cross Sinclair" and there was Nassau Smelting & Refining in Tottenville. Farrell Lumber in Great Kills may have still been a rail customer, along with the Staten Island Advance off of Fingerboard Rd in Grassmere, until the mid 80s. Around the time the Chessie System sold the operating rights of the Staten Island Railroad's freight operations to the New York Susquehanna & Western in 1985. (A subsidiary of Delaware Otsego Corp ) The Right Of Way east of Elm Park was beginning to get so heavily overgrown with weeds, train crews basically had to chop that all up, just so freight trains could get through there. Finally by September of 1989, all freight service east of Elm Park was permantly suspended. This cut off rail service to Nassau Smelting and whatever other industries south of St George that were receiving rail service. And with the complete abandonment of the Staten Island Railroad from St George - Cranford Junction, 3/9/1991, the St George - Tottenville portion of the railroad has operated as an "isolated railroad", severed from the National Freight Rail Network. These tracks on the unused portion of the North Shore are in absolute horrendous shape, that I don't think there was ever any tie replacement projects done on these tracks. There probably hasn't been any tie replacement projects done to these tracks in decades, probably since the late 1950s, let alone any track maintenance! When the North Shore was still active for freight trains, these trains made a lot of noise with all the jointed rail and the freight cars often times displayed the rocking, that was familiar with 1970s era railfan videos.

  The North Shore line will never, ever, ever be restored. Staten Islanders need to accept this fact. You’re better off moving to a town that currently has rail service.

  @@edwardp3502 With the inflation as well as the rising fuel costs, I would beg to differ. Freight rail is in fact making a comeback in many parts of the country, as lines that were abandoned years ago are being restored. If the tracks on the North Shore were rehabilitated from Arlington Yard to St George, Garber's Do it Best Hardware & Building Supplies and a few other industries would switch back to rail from trucks. This would eliminate a lot of those heavy trucks that normally travel along Bay St, Hylan Blvd etc. If they restored a third of the Staten Island Railroad from NJ to Staten Island in Mariners Harbor and Travis, they could restore it to St George again.

  ⁠@@joshbenton4080 Freight rail deals in high volume like coal, oil, concrete, etc. There is zero big industry on SI, and nobody is gonna pay hundreds of dollars to have an Amazon package or a few pieces of lumber shipped by three different railroads to end up being delivered the last few miles by truck anyway. Ain’t gonna happen.

  Greetings Janusz. Great video. Can understand why the MTA won't reopen the North Shore line. All the money they get from the Federal Government, to get new subway cars, and they can't open the line up. It would take some great help from Mayor Adams and Govenor Hochul, to get this line open and running again. Need to get Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg from Washington invovled. North shore needs it. Music is excellent.

• 
  @edwardp3502Ай бұрын

  It would have to be completely rebuilt, and much of the line has either fallen into the Kill Van Kull or has been sold to private parties, particularly the shipyards in West Brighton. It would cost billions to rebuild, and ridership would be relatively low. There are enough bus routes on Castleton Ave and Richmond Terrace to handle the current ridership load.

  I can't believe the MTA doesn't have the funding to reopen the North Shore line. There is enough room to lay down three tracks at least, and add rock sediment to counter act salt water from the river, from erosion. Hire more people for track Maintenace and signal tower operations. Would to see the trains go by the movie theaters, and head out to the Staten Island Mall, including sending trains over the Outer Crossing Bridge, or build a new bridge to parts of New Jersey. MTA gets their money from the State also. You have to get Mayor Adams, his transportation secretary and Govenor Hochul and her transportation secretary involve. Also get the transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg involved. A little help from the News Media would help also.

  In the last 40 years, the City of New York has wasted a tremendous amount of taxpayers money doing all of these "feasibility studies", that has proven yet, time and time again, there needs to be train service between St George and Arlington restored. Ridership on the North Shore would probably be about half of what's seen daily between St George and Tottenville. And all of this money that was wasted since the early 1980s, could have been used to restore the line by now, as well as restoring the Arlington bound tracks, which were removed back in the late 1950s, or early 60s! (A few years after commuter rail service ended on the North Shore, the line was "single tracked" and became Dark Territory) The ROW east of Arlington Yard has become more or less, an impenetrable forest, since it was abandoned back in 1991! (Not to mention all of the severe washouts east of Caddel's Dry Dock & Repair co and Atlantic Salt ) Interestingly enough, just about six months before commuter rail service ended to Mariners Harbor, there was a housing project that was being built there. This would have been a potential source of revenue for the Staten Island Railroad, (SIRT) had this service not been eliminated in 1953. It would take about ten years for the city just to get a bus route close to this apartment complex in Mariners Harbor and it takes the residents of Staten Island's Northshore neighborhoods, two - three times longer, just to gain access to the SI Ferry Terminal by bus. (Before 1953, it took just ten to fifteen minutes to reach the ferry terminal by train) Since this time, the word bus has become a "Four Lettered Word". The fact that the city allowed commuter rail service to end on the North Shore, was rather short sighted on their part.

  @@joshbenton4080 Greetings Josh. I also remember seeing the Baltimore and Ohio freight trains, run along shoreline in the 80's. Of course I was going to high school at that time. Then the line change its name to the Chessie system. Then a company called Sashuana, I can't actually spell the name, took over from Chessie system.

The old train station, is where I got a good look, on the outside, because my place was there, next to the station.

  The B&O, later the Chessie System, (after mid 1972) continued to serve the industries that were still receiving rail service on Staten Island, including Proctor & Gamble, Terminal Lumber in Mariners Harbor, Cross Sinclair in Elm Park and Nassau Smelting & Refining down in Tottenville, until 1985. Then the Chessie System sold the operating rights of the Staten Island Railroad's freight operations to the New York Susquehanna & Western. (A subsidiary of Delaware Otsego Corp) They assigned a pair of EMD SW1200 switchers numbered 116 and 120, one of them was a former Chessie System unit of Pere Marquette origin. Both switchers were from the early production of SW1200's from probably the mid 1950s and had the V12-567-B engine and AAR type solid bearing trucks with "journal boxes". These units were restricted from going over a speed of about 25 MPH, just to avoid any "hot boxes". The B&O / Chessie System's eastern most terminal was actually in Philadelphia, PA. In the 1880's, the B&O extendened their trackage east of there, to connect it with the Reading Railroad. (Called Park Junction) The B&O then bought stocks of share in the Reading Co, Central Railroad of New Jersey, (CNJ) and the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Then B&O acquired "trackage rights" on these RR's and exchanged freight with these companies, including the Pennsylvania Railroad at Linden Junction NJ. (Now the Amtrak Northeast Corridor Line)Their New York City owned properties weren't on the B&O's "radar", until after the completion of their Mainline into Philadelphia, PA, as B&O wanted to get in on the NY Market. To get from Philadelphia to Staten Island required the use of these "proxy roads" between Park Junction, Bound Brook Jct, (The Reading Co and CNJ interchanged in Bound Brook, NJ) to Cranford Jct, NJ, before being back on "Home Rails". This arrangement was done because B&O / Chessie System didn't "officially" operate in the state of New Jersey for tax reasons. (The state of NJ heavily taxed the railroads there and caused some of them to go into bankruptcy) And so they didn't own any trackage in NJ, with the exception of their line east of Cranford Jct, to the Arthur Kill Rail Bridge in Elizabeth Port. This changed in April 1976, when the Reading Co, CNJ and Lehigh Valley were absorbed by Consolidated Rail Corporation. (Conrail) Conrail management "disallowed" any Chessie System freight trains in their territory with B&O train crews onboard and essentially terminated the trackage rights B&O / Chessie System had with a few of Conrail's predecessors. They were required to turn their trains over to Conrail, to forward it to and from between Park Jct and Cranford Jct and vice versa. Conrail like Amtrak, was created by congress in the 1970s as a government owned and funded corporation. After the Staggers Act was passed in the early 1980s under the Carter Administration, (the Staggers Act deregulated certain restrictions big corporations had to adhere to) this allowed Conrail to be passed into the hands of private investors. Conrail grew to become a monopoly in the Northeast, as there wasn't any rail carriers that could compete with Conrail, not even the Chessie System, Norfolk & Western, (later Norfolk Southern) and CP Rail. And Conrail management decided to completely ban all Chessie System freight trains from entering their territory. This is why the Chessie System stopped serving the rail served industries on Staten Island in 1985 and sold the operating rights of the Staten Island Railroad's freight operations to a short line operator. By this time however, the Right Of Way of the North Shore east of Elm Park was getting so heavily overgrown with vegetation, train crews were having to cut that all up, just so freight could be delivered east of there and south of St George. Finally by September of 1989, Delaware Otsego's management permanently suspended all freight service east of Elm Park, cutting off access to rail service to Nassau Smelting and whatever other industries were receiving rail service on the South Shore. Then in 1991, Procter & Gamble, (the Staten Island Railroad's biggest freight customer) closed their Port Ivory Plant and the Staten Island Railroad was abandoned from St George - Cranford Junction. @@FrederickCAycottJr

I used to wake up and hear the Chessie System locomotive and freight pass by my window in the mornings. All the money that the MTA spends on New subway cars, they can't spend money on reopening the North shore transit system. Don't understand it. Dog gone shame.
