I live on 51st (actually I've been here since I was 13). I know exactly where this is, I've watched that whole area go from a wasteland to Trumpville over the years. Have you seen the old New York Central RR switcher they have set up there? A nice homage to the area's history. These are old railroad car float gantries, one of the main modes of transporting cargo across New York's harbors. I used to worry they'd be torn down, but luckily they've been placed on the register of historic places.
