Red At The Padded Wagon. On the late afternoon of Friday, July 30, 2010, Canadian Pacific Train 417 travels on the Oak Point Link next to the Harlem River in the Bronx, New York, with CP 5690 (SD40-2) leading, enroute to the MTA Metro-North Railroad Hudson Line. The Padded Wagon Moving & Storage Company is a long time fixture trackside with its matching trucks and building. The "link" opened in 1998 to create a new route that would cease using the existing Port Morris Branch as a project of NYS DOT, Conrail, and then Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) subsidiary Delaware and Hudson Railway (D&H). Today, the 1.9 mile line is exclusively served by CSX, primarily at night. These once tri-weekly CP runs were down to once a week and would end shortly after, leaving CSX as the sole freight operator on this east of Hudson line.
