Abandoned Rail Line Gets New Life As NYC Park
A different kind of park opens Tuesday in New York City. The High Line is on top of an old elevated railroad trestle that runs up the West Side of Manhattan. When complete, the park will occupy the 1.5 miles that the rail line used.
Thirty feet above the old Meatpacking District, it’s a different world from the street below. On the narrow iron structure, there is now a park promenade that winds its way through wildflowers and remnants of the old railroad tracks.
