The full preservation of the High Line at the rail yards has long been one of Friends of the High Line's major advocacy campaigns. This is an iconic section of the Line, with breathtaking views to the Hudson River and crosstown to the Empire State Building and the Midtown skyline. It offers a possible connection to the Hudson River Park, as well as a series of open spaces being planned as part of the development of the West Side.
