The space that the entire development occupies is above train lines that have been used since the 1980s; plans laid out in the construction of the rails allowed for buffer space which allowed for space for the supports of the development over the rails, which are still in use by NJ Transit and the Long Island Rail. The Hudson Yards development relies on much of both functioning and non-functioning rail systems as it also utilizes the Highline as an attraction.[2]
