I get it. These companies of the past, they were titans of industry. They left their ruins behind everywhere like a lost civilization. An Ozymandias statue a thousand fold.
Among the dead in Mt Zion Cemetery is the body of a colossus. A thing so profoundly bigger than you that you don't even realize you are standing on it. But, if you look down from above at the cemetery you'll see it. A peculiar row of headstones that cuts across in a thin row diagonal to all the other headstones. This thin strip of oddly facing plots were dug exactly along the space where railroad tracks used to cut through the cemetery.
RIP NY & Flushing RR, you were bigger than us all.
