There are abandoned railway tracks across the city. This 3.5-mile piece of track that stretches across the borough might be the city's next amazing park.
New York City's High Line definitely wasn't the first abandoned rail line to be turned into a park--one of its inspirations came from the Promenade Plantee, built almost 20 years earlier in Paris. But the Manhattan park, opened in 2009, has spawned similar ideas around the world, from a crowdfunded skybridge in the Netherlands to an underground garden in London. And now there might be another elevated rail park in New York City.
