Abandoned railway becomes ‘hanging garden’
New York City recently opened High Line park, a 1½-mile stretch of trees, shrubs and walkway that was once an elevated rail line. According to AFP, the old railway once carried trainloads of animals to the city’s meatpacking plants. Now it’s home to wildflowers and other vegetation. Another section of the railway, approximately the same length, is due to open next year and there are hopes to save a third piece.
