The High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air, removing dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan's largest industrial district. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group, formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line works in partnership with the City of New York to preserve and maintain the structure as an elevated public park.
The project gained the City's support in 2002. The High Line south of 30th Street was donated to the City by CSX Transportation Inc. in 2005. The design team of landscape architects James Corner Field Operations, with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, created the High Line's public landscape with guidance from a diverse community of High Line supporters. Construction on the park began in 2006. The first section, from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street, is projected to open in June 2009.

Amid the fractured urban landscape of post-war Zagreb in early 1996, this image captures a rugged and improvised tactical satellite communications station operated by the U.S. Army’s 7th Signal Brigade. Perched in front of a battle-scarred apartment block, the makeshift wooden shelter—draped in camouflage netting for concealment and protection—supports two large satellite dishes critical to establishing secure voice and data communication for U.S. and NATO forces across the Balkans during Operation Joint Endeavor.
Constructed from basic plywood and reinforced with scavenged materials, the shelter’s utilitarian form belies its strategic importance. These SATCOM systems enabled real-time battlefield coordination, long-distance command relay, and operational integration between multinational peacekeeping units deployed as part of IFOR (Implementation Force) following the signing of the Dayton Accords.
The 7th Signal Brigade, based in Germany and deployed throughout the region, played a vital role in restoring and maintaining digital links across a theater where civilian infrastructure was either destroyed or unreliable. This specific node may have served the U.S. Army’s forward operations center, acting as a hub for encrypted data, satellite phones, and logistic coordination channels, helping keep soldiers connected and missions on course.
The surrounding building shows visible war damage—charred windows, broken balconies, and general disrepair—contextualizing the military’s communications setup not in an isolated outpost but within a living, recovering urban environment. It’s a sobering portrait of military presence, improvisational engineering, and the effort to rebuild and maintain peace in a region recently torn apart by ethnic conflict.

415 W. Washington, with a fading sign from when it used to be the County Road Commission yard. Now it houses the City's division of Park Operations, street-sign and radio shops, etc. Insiders just call it "415."
I sometimes hear ideas about converting this into artist space. I love the idea in principle; but when I worked at NAP, any time we would talk to folks at Park Ops, they would say, "this building needs to be condemned." I didn't look that closely, but without some renovations I'm sure the heating bills would be immense.
A couple days after Section 2 of the High Line opened. Now the park extends from the Meatpacking District (south of 14th Street) to 30th Street, near the Hudson Yards.
