The High Line is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. It is owned by the City of New York, and maintained and operated by Friends of the High Line. Founded in 1999 by community residents, Friends of the High Line fought for the High Line’s preservation and transformation at a time when the historic structure was under the threat of demolition. It is now the non-profit conservancy working with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to make sure the High Line is maintained as an extraordinary public space for all visitors to enjoy.

Really nice. Love the font and the double meanings to the H/rail icon.

Very simple and clean. I agree the H made from a rail road is very clever indeed. Good work.
I gotta be honest – I really do not like the rail “H” icon. Seems weak and quite uninspired.
