Fresh
Pond Yard bustles with freight activity. Several boxcars and a flatbed
car with chords of lumber stacked on it sit in the yard waiting to be transported
to their final destinations.

Fresh Pond Yard is closed to non-NYA employees. We were only allowed
in the yard because we were on the NYA tour on that particular day.
Trespassing on NYA property is strictly forbidden.
Several boxcars
are parked in the yard.
The trestle bridge in the background links the Bay Ridge Branch to the
New York Connecting Railroad line.
It's
not often that you see box cars on New York City railways. With the
NYA new business charter, hopefully NYC can experience more deliveries
of goods and services via rail.
Fresh
Pond Yard has several spurs for freight train storage. In this picture,
one can see five to six spurs for train storage.
