The following images are also of the BEDT Brooklyn III, but after BEDT ceased operations and the tug wass opereated by the New York Cross Harbor Railroad. Even in later years, the Brooklyn III still wore BEDT livery, and therefore I have included those images here:

April 20, 1958 - Hell Gate (eastbound)
(I believe this BEDT carfloat and the unidentified tug and carfloat off the port side under the Hell Gate Bridge
are enroute to the NYNH & H Oak Point Terminal & Yard.
The two smokestacks and moveable gas holders is Astoria Light, Heat & Power.
The approaching westbound tug (unidentified) and carfoat would be coming from the NYNH & H Oak Point Terminal.)
