Bridgeport: A Busy Stop for the GC


Bridgeport ("BP")

Bridgeport is a thriving stop along the GC mainline. Several GC customers receive shipments by rail here, and Bridgeport is a popular stop for GC passenger trains:


A long westbound freight rolls past the Bridgeport station


A CNW plow extra heads thru the station area

Bridgeport is also a major GC on-line customer. Behind the Bridgeport passenger station, pictured below, is a large coke oven facility:

The facility also features a rail-to-barge operation, pictured below left:

After passing through Bridgeport, the main makes its way into the Subway, the next stop.
