The New York and Atlantic Railway ('''NY&A''') is a Short Line Railroad formed in 1997 to provide freight service over the tracks of the Long Island Rail Road , a public Commuter Rail agency which had decided to privatize its freight operations. NY&A operates exclusively on Long Island, New York and is connected to the mainland via the Hell Gate Bridge and a Railway Ferry (the New York Cross Harbor Railroad ) from Brooklyn to New Jersey .

The NY&A officially took over Long Island Railroad's freight operations on May 11 , 1997 .
