| 释义 |
The 2007 opening of the Staten Island Transfer Station and the ExpressRail facility, along with the reopening of the Arthur Kills bridge, has reactivated the yard. HistoryThe yard opened in 1886. The name of the neighborhood Arlington was coined after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) purchased a farm at Old Place, on Staten Island's northwestern corner, which would become the Arlington freight yard. The B&O renamed the area Arlington.[2][3][4] Following the completion of the Arthur Kill Bridge in 1889, the yard was the first stop for freight trains coming from New Jersey.[3][5] Arlington Yards was the hub of Staten Island's freight industry for most of the 20th century.[5] The engine house at Arlington was a small, two stall, cinder-block building.[5] There was a tank car to fuel locomotives in the yard.[5] Materials used to perform minor repairs to freight cars could be found inside the building.[5] At one point the yard had a capacity for 3,000 train cars.[6] See also
