This photo has just about everything you could ask from a rail-marine terminal! Locomotive, floatbridge, carfloats, & tugboats and a great angle!

From foreground to background:
- Bush Terminal 50th Street floatbridge,
- Bush Terminal RR GE 80 ton locomotive #88,
- Bush Terminal RR reacher car #101,
- Bush Terminal RR carfloat #4 (moored to pier on right),
- Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal station carfloat #26, (before it was converted to a centerpipe carfloat for use at Schaeffer Brewery)
- Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal tug "Integrity",
- Bush Terminal RR tug "Irving T. Bush" (background) with unidentified carfloat.

Note the submarine (yes, a submarine) moored on the left!

This photos was taken in September 1968 by my father from the pedestrian bridge over the floatbridge lead tracks.
