If you live on Long Island you have taken the LIRR to Penn Station. It's a rule, a suburban rite of passage and perhaps an act of Congress. ( This especially true during the Thanksgiving to Christmas time period). Where do all those trains go after that last stop in Manhattan? The West side rail yard by "Hudson Yards"....

NYC's High Line Park continues to grow....the final section of the High Line is being prepared. The last section will end ( or begin depending upon one's point of view ) at 30th Street at which point the elevated park will be a carpet of perennial plantings and public areas all the way to 18th Street.
