Try historic aerials...
I'd try to explain, except I'm not good at that

Hey can anyone hear directly to photos or books with images of the New York Central on the Highline?

Searching online, I’ve seen an iconic black and white pic of a road switcher on the High line. But that’s it. Now, if I search, I get nothing but pic of hipsters on the highline walk...

Are there books on the subject? Or Flickr Accra one can recommend? Thanks.
