We are standing on the roof of the wheelhouse of the John P. Brown, where we see get a good view of the offloading of a string of freight cars from our barge. Once the barge is completely empty, NYNJ SW1200 2293 will bring them into Greenville Yard, tie onto another bunch of loaded cars, and, with the help of a spacer car (engines are not allowed onto the float bridge ramp or barge), will load the barge back up for the return trip the 65th Street in Brooklyn. This trip back and forth will happen twice today, moving 11 cars on each run. In the next video, we will see the cars as they are loaded on the barge, as seen from the deck of the barge. A quick history note, the float bridge (which is in horrible shape) was built in 1907 for the Pennsylvania Railroad, as this was their yard at the time. Enjoy the sight of the bridge, the SW1200, and the actual offloading of the freight cars. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on September 20th, 2012.
