    (Scroll down for the complete report) – with update!


    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.

    Seaporcel Metals Inc


    Long Island City has been in a constant state of change in recent years. Old factories have been torn down at a disturbing pace. The former Seaporcel Metals building was just another victim of this rampant overdevelopment.

  • Montauk Steel, Long Island City

    Montauk Steel, Long Island City

    Montauk Steel was located on Borden Avenue in L.I.C., on land that was once part of the LIRR’s old Wheelspur yard. There is currently very little information about this company on the internet, so here’s what I can tell you.

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

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

    On the north shore of Newtown creek lays a plot of land with a strangely unique history – a place that was once the Wheelspur Yard, a passenger yard for LIRR trains. After, it became 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.

  • Smith’s Dungeon

    Smith’s Dungeon

    Smith’s Dungeon is perhaps one of the hardest NYC Subway tunnel locations to crack open. Leave it to one of our newest members to crack open a spot that has eluded more explorers and graffiti artists than a hand full of Sonia Vergara’s massive tits.

  • 2nd Ave Subway Station Construction

    2nd Ave Subway Station Construction

    The NYC MTA is undertaking a massive cash-toss project to extend a subway tunnel under 2nd Avenue on the Upper East Side. This project was originally proposed in the 1920’s. A few small sections of it was built in the 70s, though nothing came of this project until the last 10 years. Today, actual construction is underway.

    Behind Grand Central Terminal’s Massive Tiffany Clock


    Since today marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of Grand Central Terminal, I thought it might be nice to take you to a part of the station that is rarely seen by the public at large: Inside the massive clock overlooking 42nd street and Park Avenue South. This is the largest Tiffany clock in the world. Measuring 14 feet in diameter and constructed of stained glass, It is a priceless one of a kind gem.

    On a recent trip to Rochester, NY, we stopped in at Mt. Morris. DevB had a lead on there being an abandoned railroad station in town, so who was I to argue?
