The High Line: an impressive show of urban renewal!

The High Line is an abandoned 1.5 mile (2.33 km) section of an old elevated train line belonging to the defunct West Side Line. It rides along the lower west side neighborhood of New York City in Manhattan between 34th Street near the Javits Convention Center and Gansevoort Street in the West Village. The High Line was built in the early 1930s by the New York Central and has been unused since 1980. It was in a state of disrepair, although the elevated structure is basically sound. Below are some pictures of the rebuilt process along with opening day photo and some historical pictures…enjoy ;-)
