Part of the Pennsylvania Railroad Greenwich terminal complex. This is for loading bulk granular goods like grain and also finished steel products. Large travelling gantry cranes were demolished in the late 2000s. Pier was closed in the late 1990s as area manufacturing decreased.

  • This is Pier 122, the former iron ore import pier. Was also adapted to unload other commodities such as rock salt until it closed in 1998.
