According to the Festival's website :
The High Line itself is a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure in Manhattan. It once raised trains up off the streets, but has been abandoned since 1980. The Friends of The Highline nonprofit group hopes to restore it to a usable condition, then dedicate it for public enjoyment. What a great cause - the increase of public space!!
