October in New York: Hudson Yards (with a side trip to Edmonton)

More images of my October trip to New York.   We’ve walked across Manhattan along 54th Street to the Hudson River where, a few blocks south, one the largest projects in the city’s history is underway – Hudson Yards.

A massive deck is being built over the train yards that feed Pennsylvania Station.  Cut-glass versions of the 60’s box rise on top.  And on the southern and western most edges, an extension of the upper end of the High Line.

Says Wikipedia of Hudson Yards: “the largest ever of its kind.[4]

So what’s the second largest?
