   Are the boats drawn by horses or by mules?   
      
   "Canal" is a misnomer: it's simply the vast expansion of an existing creek.   
   The Harlem River Ship Canal would  have been a better choice -- it's an actual   
   created channel that cut Marble Hill off from Manhattan Island but is   
   indistinguishable from the Harlem River to its east.

   The Newark Light Rail is many years old.

   Not within the purview of *Naked City*. (They didn't bother explaining why   
   the personnel of the 65th Pct. would be investigating a shooting on Fire   
   Island in the episode entitled "Fire Island.")
