Hello, <br /> <br />I am doing research on the New York Central Railroads West side freight line (also known as the "High Line") for an upcoming project of modeling the area in 1/87th scale. I would like to know if you would know how I may obtain copies of any structural drawings of the viaduct that once ran from 30th street to the old St. Johns Freight terminal. (part of the 1934 West Side Improvement Project) <br /> <br />Also any diagrams depicting the track layout for the old 60th street freight yards (presently where Mr. Trump is building his towers) and the old 30th street freight yards before they were demolished. <br /> <br />My father-in-law once worked in the meat market on 125th street and was very involved with the loading/unloading of the freight cars on this particular route. Re-creating this slice of history, I thought, might be a nice thing to do for all who can remember, and all who can imagine. <br /> <br />I would appreciate any guidance of where I might find the above references. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Gary Kovac <br />Palisades Park, New Jersey <br />
