East River pop art

The wharf-side infrastructure for ferrying freight cars across the East River from Long Island City in Queens NY to Manhattan was long-ago abandoned. Now bits of that infrastructure have been preserved as pop art. Here are a few photos of that pop art near the “entrance” to Long Island.
