Fort Schuyler Railway - Military Railroads of the New York Metropolitan Area

MILITARY RAILROADS
OF THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA:

FORT SCHUYLER
the Bronx, NY
.

.
Ft. Schuyler was organized in the aftermath of the War of 1812, when it became quite apparent that the US coastline was poorly defended against foreign invasion.

Ft. Schuyler was located on the north shore of Long Island, and was strategically positioned to protect New York City from naval attack through Long Island Sound; guarding the eastern entrance to New York Harbor.

It is located at Throgs Neck in the southwest portion of the Bronx, at a point where the East River meets Long Island Sound. Fort Totten faces it on the other side of the river. Nothing is known of the railway this time.
