Tussle At The Tunnel

Ancient rivals meet in Brooklyn in fight to be first through tube

“Life” Showed Rivals in 1938

A dozen years ago Life published this strip of pictures showing the first meeting of Horn (left) and Catan as they waited to be first through the Lincoln Tunnel under the Hudson River. Horn started from New York, Catan from New Jersey. They met in the middle, but Catan paid first toll since gates are on Jersey side.
