Erie 28th Street Terminal - Waterfront Railroading in Manhattan

From Vince: "The Erie’s 28th Street Terminal, located on the west side of Manhattan, was one of two Erie facilities served via carfloat from the railroad’s expansive yards in Jersey City. In this talk, I’ll review the Erie's history, facilities, and operations in this one city block between 11th and 12th Avenues, and how it inspired me to create a scale model."
