Summary

Significance: The remains of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Pier No. 6: Grain Trestle are significant because of the information they provide about grain and coal loading techniques of a major railroad; because Pier No. 6 was the only coal pier in New York/New Jersey Harbor in the first quarter of the 20th century; for the technology involved in incline and elevated pier construction; and for information about the configuration of a ca. 1900 freight yard of a major coal handling railroad in the New York/New Jersey Harbor.
