Hi - I don't think the current lead image is one of the best now we can offer. I'll list some alternatives here, let me know what you think:
Please list more as you find them. Obviously we can't pick more than one, but others should be used in other places in the article as they're good photos! ɱ (talk) 19:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Here's a similar perspective to A but higher resolution and not quite as overexposed, in case anyone likes it better. The second one is interesting just because it shows the tracks. The third shows the downtown end of the line. Station1 ( talk) 04:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Beyond My Ken "too far" isn't helpful as a revert reason. Please explain and detail CapnZapp ( talk) 07:42, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
The park is built on a disused, southern viaduct section of the New York Central Railroad line known as the West Side Line.tells us the structure (the elevated line, abandoned or running trains) is called West Side Line, while the name High Line is reserved for the after-conversion park. That is at least the assumption I based my edits upon. CapnZapp ( talk) 07:48, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

The park is built on a disused, southern viaduct section ... of the West Side Line. I'll fix this now. epicgenius ( talk) 16:36, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Annother possible reference- can anyone tell me if it is the West Side Line shown in The Greatest Showman around the third chorus of "A Million Dreams"? Thanks! - AAEexecutive ( talk) 23:03, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Should we update or note somewhere the changes to the park due to COVID-19 safety precautions? For example:
I know these changes aren't permanent, but considering they've been in effect for a few months, maybe it could or should be noted as a "moment in time" note? Such as:
Just an idea to help keep it current. The High Line is pretty magical right now, even in its limited function!

I was frankly astonished to see that
Beyond My Ken has again restored the pseudoheadings for the references section last June:
[1]. I had changed this in January 2020:
[2]. Per
MOS:PSEUDOHEAD: Using a pseudo heading at all means you have exhausted all other options. It is meant as a rarity.
I explained the problems with such headings fully at
Talk:High Line/Archive 1#References section and again at
Talk:High Line/Archive 1#Accessibility of pseudoheadings. I am puzzled at the repeated, deliberate restoration of an accessibility problem without explanation. It cannot be a "rarity" to follow the standing layout and formatting of an article.
