The69th Street Transfer Bridge, part of theWest Side Line of theNew York Central Railroad, was adock forcar floats which allowed the transfer ofrailroad cars from therail line to car floats which crossed theHudson River to theWeehawken Yards inNew Jersey. Its innovativelinkspan design kept theboxcars from falling into the river while being loaded.^[1]

The transfer bridge was constructed in 1911 based on an innovative design by James B. French that allowed cargo to be rapidly loaded and unloaded.^[2]

After it fell into disuse, it was in danger of being torn down and removed, but around the year 2000, during renovations ofRiverside Park, following the example ofGantry Plaza State Park, it became a prominent feature of the park. It was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 2003.^[3]^[4]

Similar facilities are in use between65th Street Yard in Brooklyn andGreenville Yard in Jersey City by theNew York New Jersey Rail, LLC, which still operatescar floats acrossUpper New York Bay.

As of October 2014^[update], theNew York City Department of Parks is in the design phase of a project to reconstruct, restore and adaptively reuse the 69th Street Transfer Bridge.^[5]
