Watching the Transformation (Hudson Yards)

A stroll a bit north and eastward on my lunch hour is more and more like watching a caterpillar turn to a butterfly. The daily construction activity is enormous and the metamorphosis is sometimes overwhelming. City blocks of crumbling concrete and barely visible underground railroads get ripped apart, dug deeper and poured with concrete as steel frameworks transform into one more enormous skyscraper climbing slowly to the sky. Its almost like a sci-fi world of the future...

 Yep - there's a railroad there!

If you stop and peak through the fences, vestiges of old New York can be seen...
 ...an old 2 strong hold-out from the past give away building-by-building to the new high-rises...
 Even the future Penn Station is shrouded in black as work continues on renovations and renewal...
It's crazy!!
