We are nearing
the terminus of Newtown Creek. The creek is very narrow and isn't
very deep in this area.
The creek is
highly polluted, as the green murkiness of the water shows. Who knows
what kind of garbage is floating in the water at this location, and who
knows if it will ever be cleaned-up.
The shoreline
at the terminus of Newtown Creek. A mixture of chemicals float on
the water's surface. Garbage is strewn across the shore.
A factory resides
next to the creek.
An
old railroad spur meanders its way through the factories in the area.
This spur was used for railroad freight traffic, and it has a connection
to the Montauk Branch.
Another
portion of the railroad spur, as it passes next to the sides of some of
the factories in the area.
