Viewing Album:  High Line New York City, NY
 
By:Rudolph Schubert
Dates:1/1/1890 - 1/31/2016
Album Info:The High Line hummed with freight commerce for the first 20 years after it opened in 1934, doing the job of moving goods from the wharves to factories, warehouses and meat purveyors on the west side of Manhattan. But as the harbor saw traffic decline after World War 2, the line began to decline with it. Piers closed, traffic dropped and factories began to disappear. Bell Labs moved to Northen New Jersey and others followed them out to areas west of the Hudson with better rail and port access to the rest of the US. In their wake, the High Line became disused and partial demolition of the elevated structured began in the 1960s. With recession and New York's poor finances in the 1970s, maintenance and upkeep of the structure vanished and it's last user held out until 1980 before the entire line was basically abandoned. The last train on the High Line carried a load of frozen turkeys. The line sank into a long period of decay and was largely forgotten.
