from Proposed New Railway System: For the Transportation and Distribution of Freight by Improved Methods in the City and Port of New York

While much has been written during the past forty years on the general subject of freight transportation in the City and Port of New York, but little effective thought appears to have been given to the broad question of the more expeditious and economical handling of freight between the carrier and the consumer.
Passenger transportation systems have been steadily improved, but the most archaic and in adequate methods of freight distribution still retard the growth of the commerce of New York, and make increasingly difficult and expensive the furnishing of food and raiment to the vast population residing on Manhattan Island.


Recently the attention of the public has been attracted to the freight problem on Manhattan Island by the controversy that has arisen over the proposed removal from streets and public places, of the tracks of the only railroad that now has direct rail access to the Island.
