1932 - Port Facilities at Port of New York - War Department / US Army Corps of Engineers
The 1932 Edition of Series Port Facilities Maps below have
been
digitized by the University of Missouri-St Louis. I have acquired a
digitized set of the 1942 Edition from University of Texas - Austin. I
have annotated these plates to identify the routing of New York Central
West Side Line through
Manhattan and the associated facilities served by that line.
I am desperately seeking the 1926, 1953 Edition
and
1965 Editions; at the very least - the
segment of the High Line.
We know they
exist, but apparently have not been digitized. If you know
where a
set is located or have a set already digitized, please contact me
at bedt14@aol.com
