Run Through Freight. On the cold and snowy morning of January 7, 2018, New York & Atlantic Railways RS-20 heads across Flushing Avenue down the Bushwick Branch in Masepth, New York with GP38-2 268 leading. At this unusually constructed location, the train heads through the Maspeth Industrial Center before crossing Flushing Avenue both at grade and on an overpass bridge before again heading down private right of way. NYA serves freight customers on a variety of MTA Long Island Rail Road lines in four counties. Some of these routes have active passenger train service, and others, like the Bushwick Branch, that have not seen passenger trains in a century.
