Excerpt

The High Line is now one of the most popular places to visit in New York. Put into service in 1930 as an elevated freight line to transport produce, including beef and poultry, for the meet market. In 1980 the last load of turkeys was delivered.

The High Line has been resurrected as New York's "hanging garden."

This is one of many possible stops on my tour.
