What's left
of the remains of the New York Central's 60th Street yards. New York
Central Railroad's main freight rail yard once resided at this location.
The railroad tracks and right-of-way are still used by Amtrak
for the railroad's service to upstate New York and Montreal, Canada.
Large cranes
begin the construction of Trump's new condominiums for the area.
The elevated West Side Highway carries motor vehicles over the property.
The last vestiges
of New York Central's 60th Street yards are being dug up, and concrete
is being poured in order to construct the foundations for the new buildings.

bike path. Buildings will soon rise from this property, removing

The Henry Hudson
Parkway/West Side Highway combination was elevated in this area to carry
the parkway's roadway over the railroad yards. Although most remnants
of the yards are long gone, the parkway is still elevated in this area
- and the basic design remained this way even after the viaduct underwent
an extensive reconstruction project in the early 1990's.
