It's where the Turnpike Extension today curves in to join 139 towards the Holland Tunnel. This is a westbound train coming out of the Erie station via the 10th St Embankment, on the curve heading towards the Bergen Arches. No tracks exist there today.

Is this where they’re trying to build that High Line style park?

No, that's the Sixth Street Embankment.
The Tenth Street Embankment was part of the Erie Yard and has now been mostly redeveloped. You can see the stone walls preserved though along most of 10th St.
