Just an archway that I like, off Bedford Street on the way north to Christopher. There's a small courtyard that's very nice, which I didn't take photos of because some tenants had their front doors open to the yard and were doing work on their interiors. When I hit Christopher, I turn west to get to the Hudson.
This is a pier at West 26th Street which is designed to allow loaded rail cars to roll directly off the decks of cargo ships. There's a lot of old iron gearing, probably to raise or lower the end of the pier to the proper deck height for whatever ship is in port.
Iron wheels for hand-powering the works.
The gearing seen through a pair of timbers.
