(Scroll down for the complete report)

You're probably asking yourself why The LTVSquad, a group & website dedicated to sneaking into abandoned buildings and tunnels - is featuring a post about an abandoned park trail in Queens. Why would we spend our time at such a place? The answer is simple: we're looking for the money, and we're looking for answers.

May 8th, 2013 by Control

The above photo is from one of the easiest subway tunnel explorations I've ever done. It is the mouth of the tunnel for the new 'Canada Line' subway route in Vancouver, B.C. (more...)

10 most disgusting abandoned places in NYC.

April 18th, 2013 by Control

While discussing a recent buzzfeed post about '33 beautiful abandoned places', and one from IO9.com covering 'majestic abandoned power stations', we joked that if someone made a similar post about NYC, it would need to have a different, more disturbing theme. I then smacked myself in the forehead and realized I absolutely had to do this, immediately.

March 27th, 2013 by Control

Today marks the 98th anniversary of one of the most unique events in NYC Subway Tunnel history. On this day in 1905, a man was accidentally shot like a canon out of the present day 2/3 line subway tunnel under NY Harbor and into the air. He survived.

The Night that LTV Saved Greenpoint.

March 21st, 2013 by Control

Ok, so the title is a little dramatic, but it's not too far off from reality. Were it not for our nocturnal exploring activities, a major fire could have destroyed a fuel storage facility and other vital infrastructure. First responders could have been seriously injured or worse.

LIC’s Wheelspur Yard / Poultry Market – Past, Present & Future

March 11th, 2013 by Control

On the north shore of Newtown creek lays a plot of land with a strangely unique history - a place that was once a rail yard, then a poultry market and later an office for small businesses and other food distributors. All of these are gone now, and soon this land will become a rail yard once again. In a city where real estate is at a premium - such a full circle transformation is unheard of - especially in an area such as L.I.C. - where the city's industrial past has rapidly been whitewashed to make way for high priced housing. Mix in the drama of flooding and fire caused by Hurricane Sandy, and you've got a unique New York story.

Debunking the Darwin Value of this infamous ‘standing on the tracks’ photo.

February 3rd, 2013 by Control

The above photo has been floating around Reddit (and the rest of the internet) for some time now. The overwhelming reaction to it has largely been 'wow - what a bunch of stupid girls who are about to get run over'. This 'your going to die' pansy-nannyism was also picked up by Gothamist. The joke, however, is on the judgmental fools who don't understand where this photo was taken. They've all been trolled hard.

Under Their Fuckin’ Noses.

January 22nd, 2013 by Caveman

It's timing. After the denizens have been evicted, on to their lifes work of pushing commuters in front of subways, or shooting up schools etc, but before the faggot huey tourists show up on buses, toting photog shit worth more than it cost me to build my chopper. When there's heat, and light to spy on the pigs from their own lair. LTV timing.
