    Keep 43rd street White

    The NYC Photo Archive has some interesting bits in it, like the above photos of roller graffiti done in the mid to late 80s on 43rd street, near northern blvd in queens. I recall seeing this one while it was there so many years ago. Really shows how NYC has changed over the years. Something like this would probably get painted over within days now.

  • Fallenville High

    Fallenville High

    The town of South Fallenville is a barren wasteland. Storefronts are empty, residents survive off government benefits – many have no cars, and with no public transportation, they have no means of escape. With no jobs to be found and no way to get ahead, this area may as well be a prison. Decay has set in on all sides.

    One of the biggest examples of this is the old town high school. It sits abandoned, forlorn, and slowly starting to crumble.

    This is rural America 2012, where the American dream turned out to be the American nightmare.

  • One of CP Rail’s final runs to NYC

    One of CP Rail’s final runs to NYC


    In 1998, CP Rail was granted access to NYC as part of the split up of Conrail. For years their trains ran, ranging from zero to 40 cars, between queens and albany 3 days per week. In 2010 CP Rail and CSX came to an agreement where CSX would handle the freight cars for CP to NYC, while CP would handle some CSX cars bound for Canada. This eliminated the CP train to NYC…

    The attached gallery shows photos from one of their final runs over Hell Gate Bridge in Queens. The usual rag tag collection of old rock hauling cars made up the majority of the train.

    It was an end of an era… and so it goes.
