Inscription.
The opening of the High Line at the Rail Yards completes the northernmost phase of the park, connecting Gansevoort Street to 34th Street. Unlike the High Line to the south, this section features a simple path through the existing self-seeded plantings. The design celebrates the iconic urban landscape that emerged after the trains stopped running and highlights the expansive views of the Hudson River to the west and the City to the east. This section of the High Line is temporarily closed. Public restrooms are located on the Spur at 30th Street, at 16th Street, and at Gansevoort Street.

( the leftmost marker )

Unlike the more formally landscaped sections farther south, this stretch was deliberately designed to preserve the character of the self-seeded vegetation that had taken over the abandoned rail line after freight service ended. The sign documents both that design choice and the temporary closure of this section at the time the panel was photographed.
