Sunnyside Yard and the Hellgate Bridge


Sunnyside Yard, opened in 1910, remains the world’s largest railroad passenger car storage yard. In 1930 there were 79 tracks with a capacity for 1,100 cars. David Morrison, a retired branch line manager of the LIRR gives us an armchair tour of the yards as well as the mighty Hell Gate Bridge.
