Train on street level in New York, 1934. Freight traffic in the area began on street level in 1847, delivering dairy, meat and produce to factories and packing plants on the West Side near the Hudson River. The trains crashed so often with traffic — first carriages, then cars — that 10th Avenue was dubbed “Death Avenue.” Signalmen on horses waving red flags dubbed West Side Cowboys weren’t much help, so the tracks were elevated in 1934.
