Observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.

Big unit

Early Friday, the Meredith Reinauer/RTC 150 ATB came part way up the North River as far as the cruise terminal on the way back from Providence. The unit executed an impressively tight u-turn mid-river and headed for the company’s Kill van Kull yard. The Meredith Reinauer/RTC 150 combination is, I believe, one of the biggest ATBs operating in the northeast, even a bit bigger than Nicole Reinauer/RTC 135. Unlike Nicole/135 which we see periodically heading north, we do not usually see Meredith/150 up here.
