Closer to the
river, several large buildings flank the narrow street. These pictures
were taken Sunday morning, hence the apparent inactivity and lifelessness
on the streets. I am sure that this area is booming with activity
on a weekday.
At the western
end of Bridge Street resides a Con Edison power plant. This used
to be Jay Street Terminal, where the carfloats came in and railcars were
offloaded to the JSCRR. Several piers once existed in this area as
well.
This area is heavily patrolled by New York City Police and a sand truck
stands guard, positioned to help thwart any terrorist attack that might
be attempted.
The Manhattan
Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the downtown Manhattan skyline can be
seen from this vantage point on John Street.
An old section
of lay-up track resides in this area. Nice Mercedes! I guess
some of these artists are doing quite well for themselves! :)
