The first rail crossing of the Hudson was the Poughkeepsie Bridge built in 1888. Rail freight traffic east of the Hudson that did not cross by barge had to go north some distance to cross the river by bridge.

A rail freight tunnel from Staten Island to Brooklyn was proposed, but never completed. The rail tunnels required electric propulsion, limiting their use for freight. Trucks could deliver freight anywhere in the city without requiring a railroad siding. In the early 20th century, the Hudson barrier was surmounted by tunneling for passenger rail-and with the construction of the Holland Tunnel in 1927, the George Washington Bridge in 1931, and the Lincoln Tunnel in 1937-by creating fixed crossings for automobiles and trucks as well. Its southern portion included the High Line, a grade-separated viaduct that replaced the street-level railroad tracks on what was then known as ' Death Avenue'. The West Side Line, as it was called, brought freight cars to docks, warehouses and industries along Manhattan's west shore. One exception was a New York Central Railroad line on the east bank of the Hudson that extended into Manhattan for freight service.
