Preserving this infrastructure as a park (instead tearing it down) allows the right of way to be reactivated if necessary in the future. This is also the case for many rail right of way that have been converted into parks/bike trails over the years. Rail is much more efficient than truck. And Boats are even more efficient than rail.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/10/high_line_const.php#comment-117134 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/10/high_line_const.php#comment-117134 Comments Mon, 10 Apr 2006 14:17:48 -0500 <p>what's with the ugly ass hard hats?</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/10/high_line_const.php#comment-117131 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/10/high_line_const.php#comment-117131 Comments Mon, 10 Apr 2006 14:07:10 -0500 <p>The final freight train carried three carloads of frozen turkeys down the High Line in 1980.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/10/high_line_const.php#comment-117128 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/04/10/high_line_const.php#comment-117128 Comments Mon, 10 Apr 2006 14:06:09 -0500 <p>That is an AWESOME souvenir.
