Notice the intricate
rivet work that was done along the viaduct. The fence has some intricate
designs within it, and the stanchions and support beams have interesting
designs as well. It looks like the stanchion in this area is aging
a little bit, as rust culminates on it's surface. Also, the gap between
the two fences and girders seems to have increased a bit.

close-up view of the gate that resided on top of the viaduct. Diamonds
and squares make up the "artwork" for this project. Even when building
viaducts, engineers and architects of yesteryear cared about the appearance
of their finished work.
This
trestle carries the High Line over West 33rd Street. A large billboard
is mounted on the west side of the trestle. West Side Yard takes
up three city blocks - as it resides between West 30th Street and West
33rd Street. This is a view looking north.
A
view underneath the viaduct, as it runs the length of 12th Avenue between
West 30th Street and West 33rd Street. This is the entrance off of
West 33rd Street to the West Side Yard parking lot. The LIRR installed
high-powered lights under the viaduct in order to light the area at night.

its turn northeasterly.
