The High Line is an elevated freight rail line transformed into a public park on Manhattan’s West Side. It is owned by the City of New York, and maintained and operated by Friends of the High Line. The High Line is built on a disused, Southern Viaduct section of the New York Central Railroad line known as the West Side Line which opened in 1934. The West Side Line formerly extended South, to a railroad terminal at Spring St and North, to 35th St at the site of the Javits Center. Most of the viaduct's Southern Section was demolished in 1960, and the section North, of 34th St was demolished and reconfigured in 1981. For more information visit; FRIENDS OF THE HIGH LINE .
High Line:
Originating in the Lower West Side of Manhattan, the park runs from Gansevoort Street, in the Meatpacking District, North, through Chelsea to W 30th Street.
Note; A short section continues right, East, to 10th Ave and the Moynihan Connector, which continues East, then North to Manhattan West, finally turning East to 9th Ave and the Moynihan Train Hall.
Continuing West, the High Line takes you to the West Side Hwy (12th Ave/Route 9) where it turns North, to the Northern edge of the West Side Yard on 34th Street near the Javits Center.
