The Hudson River Railroad 30th St. Station was demolished in 1931 to build the Morgan Post Office.
Lincoln was there twice, enroute to inauguration and enroute to burial.

Looking north on 10th Ave at 30th St, the old station was just to the right. Here's some construction photos from the High Line website.

I must say how much I have appreciated and discovered by looking at these pics and similar ones on this Forum which have dealt with the NYC elevated freight railroad.
I guess many know of elevated commuter railroads but this one has been of especial interest to me as I am more interested in freight operations that passenger.
Thanks a million to the posters.

I would like to use 4th image from top (30th St station) for a publication. If permissible, who would I credit?
thank.
Some folks hope to see the Knicks and the Rangers and rock’n’roll bands play at a new Madison Square Garden built right where Lincoln’s inaugural train arrived and his funeral train departed.
