This paper addresses the problem of moving wholesale and retail goods around the New York City Metropolitan Regional Area. The existing roadways, bridges, and tunnels have already exceeded their capacity, and the author has assumed that freight traffic will continue to grow at the same rate as the population. To address this problem, a freight railroad tunnel under the Hudson River should be constructed to interconnect the west side of the Hudson River to the entire New England Regional Area and also to Long Island. This proposed railroad freight tunnel connection could remove over 30,000 tractor trailers per day, or about 8 million trucks per year, from the congested roadway network and the Hudson River Crossings.
