where does the new york high line start
High Line The park is built on the disused southern viaduct section of a New York Central Railroad line called the West Side Line. Originating in the Lower West Side of Manhattan, the park runs from Gansevoort Street – three blocks below 14th Street – in the Meatpacking District, through Chelsea, to the northern edge of the West Side Yard on 34th Street near the Javits Center.[4] Formerly, the West Side Line went as far south as a railroad terminal at Spring Street, just north of Canal Street. However, most of the southern section was demolished in 1960,[5] with another small portion being demolished in 1991.[6]
Hammersmith & City line Together with the introduction of S Stock trains, the track, electrical supply and signalling systems are being upgraded in a programme planned to increase peak-hour capacity on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines by 65 per cent by the end of 2018.[42][43][44] A single control room for the sub-surface railway opened in Hammersmith on 6 May 2018 and an automatic train control (ATC) system will replace signalling equipment installed from the 1940s.[43][45] The cross-London Crossrail line, planned to open in 2018, is expected to reduce crowding between Paddington and Whitechapel.[46][47]
