A section of Manhattan’s High Line at 10th Avenue and 16th Street. Between 1934 and 1980 an elevated portion of the New York Central Railroad brought freight trains directly into the Merchants Refrigerating Company Warehouse in Chelsea. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
LOVE the high line!

It looks like the train to nowhere. I can just imagine the original opening for the train. I can imagine it being a nice arch shape.

It’s fun to think about, isn’t it? (I think the original opening was a utilitarian square, but your version sounds better, Steven.)

Is this the High Line that is now a walkway? Would love to see more photos of it in its spring attire if you have any?

Yes, it’s been transformed into a public park. Wish I could be there later in the season when everything’s in bloom.

Great photo. This is the type of photo I’d be playing tug of war with the decision to go color or B&W. 😉

Good photo. I wasn’t aware that some of the train tracks were no longer being used. Good research.

I used to wake up early and shoot industrial spots in Boston and Cambridge, freezing cold as the sun rose…This is just the type of shot that, 15 years later, makes me want to do that again. Thanks for posting & be well~

I love disused railway tracks, the old sleepers with wild flowers growing between them. Nature creeping back and gradually taking over.
