Walking The High Line In New York City | Converted Disused Railroad!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this video I check out the High Line in New York City, a former disused railroad that was transformed into an elevated linear park in 2009! The park runs from 34th street all the way to 14th street and features unique aerial views across the city as it passes through various different areas including the Meatpacking District.
The railway viaduct was abandoned in 1980 and work to create The High Line park started in 2006. In this video I talk more about the history of the High Line and walk all the way across it, starting from 34th street. I also take a look at some of the unique pieces of art that can be found along the High Line and share all of the fantastic views!

Very interesting 👍🏻
Where you came off at the end is the Meatpacking District and Chelsea, its a shame you didn't have a walk around. Its a great neighbourhood, with lots of interesting places. The Whitney Museum is well worth a visit too!
Looked like a cold, lonely walk. I love your boundless energy and enthusiasm.
I couldn't do it, alone.
It's a shame that you didn't see it in the summer! The garden portions are usually filled with blooming flowers! You should definitely try to see it again in the summer.
VERY COOL part of New York Railroading history!
This is right up my street, I love disused train lines and stations. It’s quite cool to walk where trains once ran.
Great video. Its great to see things like this. Living in the UK, I would have never thought something like this would be In New York. Good to see something like this being given a new lease of life.
Absolutely!
I genuinely think you should upload this content to TPWW. Second channels will often not do as well, and I think your TPWW subs wouldn't mind one bit. They sub for you, not where you go. All this stuff is an attraction in some form anyway.
I think it would make the channel messy
Thanks for your feedback, I just want to keep things separate as I plan to upload regular videos here as well as on TPW!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures I wondered if Mike Jeavons watched TPW because he was on The Wicker Man, does he appear on TPW?
I like walking from 14th Street to 34th street because you walk right into the Hudson Yards development (which is going to be great when completely finished. Phase two is supposed to be finished this year. The Vessel at Hudson Yards is opening in March which is exciting. The performance arts center is opening this year too). Those stairs are going to be an observation deck actually. I am excited because I am on the list to get tickets to go in there. The tallest building there is 30 Hudson Yards which also has an observation deck and supposed to be opened this year as well. In the summer, all the flowers, grass, and trees are bloomed. Really pretty. Side note: Yes, driving in New York is a bitch, which is why I take the bus in. Yeah the subway system definitely needs improvement. I usually walk to most places unless I have to go downtown. Then I use the subway to get there. That's too far of a walk....lmao!! The place you walked into during the summer has vendors and people selling things. During the winter it's empty. The hotel that's there, people have to sign a waiver before staying there because of all the tourists and people taking pictures. Another great video.
Thanks for the information
This is one of the best things to do inNew York, I loved it!
Can’t wait for the Statue of Liberty video.
It's now on the channel, we hope you enjoyed it!
This is so cool! I love trains and it’s such an interesting tour of the place. I can’t wait to see your Statue of Liberty video and Coney Island
Thank you, they are both now online!
Hi from the USA.
Your videos are absolutely wonderful!! The places you visit are interesting and you present them with a fun-loving personality. I have been to New York and wasn’t able to see all. I will view ALL of your videos. Thank you!!
All those buildings on the north end were constructed over the rail yard. Thats only phase 1 of three. 30 Hudson Yards is the tallest with the balcony being the one with the highest outdoor observation deck.
Love the video, I definentaly wanna plan a trip to new york soon to check out the high like and local scenery
Thank you
Very interesting I don't personally think I'd like to walk it alone or definitely not at night . Enjoyed the vlog shawn xxx
Kindly pointing out that here in America we walk on the *Right* side of the walk/bike path. It cuts down on healthcare bills. I love your tour videos. First I saw was the Scottish castle video. That was incredible.
Thanks for watching
awww i was just in NYC a week before you were this was great to come across thanks for posting
Thank you, check out my many other videos on the channel from my New York trip
It was great walking the NYC skyline. I enjoyed it so much. Thank you. 😊⚘
Oh, and I too think it is totally cool you can still see the tracks!
that was quite fascinating man
Warsan Shire is a British writer/poet responsible for the quote "Give Your Daughters Difficult Names". I'm not sure why it's in that location. I guess I need to get back to NY for a refresher course. lol. Looks like enough has changed to make the exploration worth it. Another great vlog. Thanks!
Very interesting!
I loved the video. X
Thank you!
Geez! Shawn, you are a terrific host/presenter.
Thank you!
This was my fav part in NYC. Thanks for bringing good memories back
Thank you, I really enjoyed this walk
Another great AdventureShawn video from your New York trip.
Amazing walk in New York old the railway good views
Great video Shawn.. I love it 👍👍. Thanks.. New York City is the best and absolutely amazing.
It's a great city, I loved exploring it
Great videos of NYC
When you get the Chance to visit New York again, please make a video where you go on top of the tallest outdoor obsavation deck at houdson yards!
I'm really interested in abandoned railways/stations. You should do more!
I'm sure I will do
I went there 10 years ago, it was really cool.
Great videos :) going to New York in October, so these have been really helpful
I like that walk way that was nice
2 streets towards Lady Liberty from where you ended is where I stayed when I was there last time!
Interesting video. Nice you show off other parts of your 'adventure' and not just the normal tourists attractions .)
Thank you, that's exactly what I plan to do on this channel
I did this as well when I went to New York! I swear we did the exact same things
Great video Shawn, really interesting experience, I am travelling out there next week, would you suggest any other attractions to visit
Have a great time!
As a train geek, love this. The New York Subway is a dirty, smelly, dangerous feeling maze. Still some of the classic architecture in there is nice, really sad it's falling to pieces. A trip to Coney Island is worth it though to tick the Warriors fanboy moment off. When its open of course.
I wasn't a huge fan of the NY subway, but I did use it on quite a few occasions to get around
Very relaxing to watch!
Thank you
AdventureShawn That stair thing is a new sightseeing spot called stairway to nowhere it opened to the public two months after your trip.
Nope it’s called The Vessel
Hi Shawn, Just found out about your channel, I'm really liking the New York videos!
Thank you, there's many more to come
Found you through this video just now. Watching more. How do we learn more about you and where you are from? Subscribed, hello from southern Oregon.
Beautiful!
I love it! Been opsessed with it ever since I saw a model railway of it. RUclips it: high line model railway then find the video byyuma block. You won't regret it Shawn!
It was great to see it, thanks for your suggestion
Another interesting video. new York at its best.
Thank you, something a little different also!
Great vlog shawn, looking forward to watching the statue of liberty
Thank you, it's now online!
The developers of grand theft auto 4 included a segment of the high line in the game. It's really cool
SENSATIONAL
I've been there before!!!
Great vid shawn
Aww you missed a cool sight along the river...the pier that the Titanic was scheduled to come into was right there. Just a cool fact.
Thank you for this information!
The loads of steps is called The Vessel. It will be open to the public for free.
Great video mate I’ve watched all your New York ones looks fab I’m going in late September I’m excited and a little nervous how did you feel walking around safe ? Cheers Alan
Thanks for watching, very safe you'll have a great time
Nice place if you like concrete structures
I've done this last summer, and i did sweat my ass off :)
It's such a fun walk!
I wonder why Seattle didn't do something similar with the viaduct that just closed and is being demolished
Interesting 😁
This might be NYC MTA track if im correct
Are you visiting New York all by yourself? I need to catch up on your videos on this channel, hopefully I can do that in the coming two weeks. :)
I did indeed, very cheap flights!
👍
Shawn, where are you from? Trying to place the accent, almost a stoke accent i think
I’m from the Stoke area
What camera do you record with?
Sony AX53
how long does the walk take?
whoops should have listen until the end lol
Fun fact: that’s Ariana grandes apartment building at 9:31
Will there be a vid of Times Square at night Shawn?
Also, what food did you eat out there Shawn? Is the McDonald’s different :’)?
I have indeed filmed a full video of Times Square, it'l be online in the next few days! Mcdonald's is very similar!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures nope I have stop you there when I was there I got a medium meal and it's the size of our large lol. Went for a pizza in central terminal (it's not station) and asked for a medium got a large, so everything food wise is bigger and believe it or not found 2 cops who did t know what fast food was or take away. If you go taxis are quicker but more expensive walk it or bus it xx
I'd love to visit New York 😀
Honestly I think you should take a hard pass especially since I live in NYC and it is horrible but if you want you can visit but im warning you it's bad
I really enjoyed visiting and seeing all of the sights and attractions!
M34 Select Bus Service
When are you leaving as these vlogs are great 😀
I got back last Saturday but there's still more videos to come from the trip
I'm surprised you didn't get mugged. There's been a lot of stabbings and muggings there lately. Also lots of homeless people and junkies. Did you see a lot of needles?
Not at all, I saw none during my week away
Disappointing there is no room review or even which plane/airline you flew.
I only stayed in a small room on this trip, very budget accommodation!
This is right up my street, I love disused train lines and stations. It’s quite cool to walk where trains once ran.
I really enjoyed this
