The High Line Park
The High Line is a stretch of elevated railroad built in the 1930s to remove freight trains from the streets of Manhattan's industrial West Side. Unused since 1980, the line was initially supposed to be demolished. In 1999 a community group proposed that the structure be instead converted into a park.
