Enlarge1930's High Line [2]
A view looking Southwest at the working rail yards, taken shortly after the High Line was built (date and photographer unknown).

Note the boxcars; the rail yards were originally used for freight, but are now used for Long Island Rail Road trains. The Miller Elevated Highway can also be seen, to the right.
