Hoboken Railroad Yards Looking Towards Manhattan, New Jersey (1935) is a seminal piece from Abbott's landmark photographic documentation of the New York metropolitan area during the 1930s.
The photograph captures the sweeping expanse of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad freight yards in Hoboken, New Jersey. Abbott's high-angle composition frames the industrial rhythm of crisscrossing rail tracks, train cars, and yard infrastructure stretching toward the Hudson River, with the hazy, towering silhouette of the Manhattan skyline looming across the water in the background. Taken in 1935 during the height of her Federal Art Project work Changing New York, the image contrasts the gritty, mechanical infrastructure powering the city's supply lines against the monumental metropolis across the river
