What moves through New York
Downstate, the freight is consumption at extraordinary density, meaning retail and ecommerce inventory, food and beverage distribution, pharmaceutical and healthcare product and consumer goods feeding the largest consumer market in America through the NY-NJ gateway and the warehouse corridors around it.
Upstate is a different economy entirely, with dairy and agriculture across the central and western counties, manufacturing in Buffalo, Rochester and the Mohawk Valley, wine and food processing in the Finger Lakes and substantial Canadian trade moving through the Buffalo-Niagara crossings.
The corridors that carry it
I-87 runs north from the city to Albany and the Canadian border, I-90 carries the Thruway east to west across the state toward Buffalo, I-95 connects southwest toward New Jersey and I-81 runs north-south through the center. The distances upstate are real, and winter conditions along the Thruway and the lake-effect belt reshape schedules from November through spring.
