The Grand Central trolley loop is one of the least known, least talked about, and least documented abandoned tunnel segments in the NYC subway system. These rare photos show the present day (2012) state of this obscure location.

The Obese Layup
One day I was walking through a rail yard when I noticed every fucking car in the place was OBESE.

Hurricane Irene: PSE&G Shed
One year ago today, In 2011, Hurricane Irene came calling on NYC. Mass hysteria broke out ahead of time as Mayor Bloombag (bag of hot air that he is/was) ordered the subway system shut down (for no reason) and predicted massive flooding in ‘zone 1’ neighborhoods (close to the shoreline) and ordered those areas evacuated. Few actually listened to him, though there was a run bottled water and other foods at area supermarkets.

Par Chem, part 2
This is part 2 of our photo series on Par Chemical. The first one can be found here.
New Jersey is often associated with huge ridiculous chemical factories. This place falls directly into that category. Abandoned for several years now, this massive factory and laboratory have since been taken over by nature. The company that built it is still in business – only they’ve modernized their operation and built a huge new facility elsewhere on their expansive property – leaving this one behind to decay. it would probably cost more to clean it up and scrap it out than to leave is rusting away in it’s present day state.

Retro Files: Essex County Isolation Hospital Outbuildings, 2001
This was the very first abandoned hospital I ever visited. Located in lovely downtown Belleville, New Jersey, this set of buildings was located behind a rather huge main building which was in use at the time. Today, not one trace of these buildings exists. They were bulldozed half a dozen years ago and replaced with crappy little garden apartment buildings. Quite the unfitting demise for a structure that dated back to 1905 and was still quite structurally sturdy.
