Abandoned location of Shine Electronics, LIC.

History Constructed around 1950, this industrial building was located at 11th street and 46th ave – right across the street from the print shop that was recently demolished and replaced with condos. The last business to use this factory was Shine Electronics.



Abandoned 63rd street platform & Mezzanine, Circa 2004

An early morning walk, leading to never seen before discoveries.



The abandoned Canal Street J/M/Z platform

For whatever reason I’ve never bothered to post photos of this station, despite myself and Ntwrkguy being the first to explore the place mere hours after it closed.



Abandoned Station Entrance: 21st Van Alst

A few weeks after 9/11, we conducted a fairly brazen raid on the abandoned mezzanine and entrance of this station located along the G line in LIC. We had to tactically evade police when leaving, but it was well worth the effort.



East New York Freight Tunnel

Back before the internet, I noticed a rail line on some maps that just plain disappeared at one point, and reemerged at another. The only way to know why was to go…



Staten Island Boat Graveyard and it’s newest abandoned neighbor

The Staten Island boat graveyard needs no introduction. What was once an obscure, unknown corner of NYC’s most neglected borough gained plenty of internet fame over the last 15 years.



Update on 9321, The abandoned locomotive

4 years ago we posted about an abandoned locomotive, a 1950s era neglected engine buried deep behind rows of freight cars at a local bustling yard. This locomotive still exists, and is looking worse than ever.



Blissville Photo Freight

So one day me and The Chef were puttering around town when we came across a freight sitting in Blissville Yard, completely unattended. At the time, the yard was barely being used, so we went in for a closer look at this curious rail attraction.



Queens Borough Hall Parking Garage

The only reason I bothered to explore this place is because of the political comedy it represents. It also proved to be a fun place to fuck around with crazy light photos, but that’s beside the point.



Atlantic Avenue Tunnel (aka Cobble Hill Tunnel)

The Atlantic Avenue tunnel is so well known that it barely needs an introduction. For anyone that doesn’t know, this is the oldest subway tunnel in the world. Built by the LIRR in 1844, it was only used until 1861. There’s all kinds of stories of authorities looking for spies and German bomb makers in […]



Zexor’s Gas

“OMFG lookit’ deez LTV guys exploring gas stations WTF! Zexor’s Gas! For Real?!”



Flushing Airport, Fire Salvage, and the only NYC Fire Rig to ever be abandoned.

When we went to flushing airport, it was just a few days after the 9/11 attack on the world trade center.



South Front Street Bridge, Elizabeth, NJ

Since 2011, this Elizabeth, NJ drawbridge has been stuck in the open position – a shining example of government ineptitude out crumbling infrastructure.



The Philip T Feeney: The steam powered tugboat that time forgot.

This is the story of the life and death of a steam powered Tugboat. The first time I laid eyes on the Feeney Tugboat, it was moored along Staten Islands’ north shore. It was the winter of 2003 and I was on a day long exploring trip with graffiti artist friend Tommy Rebel. We were […]



LIRR Junk Train at Arch Street

In early 2012 the LIRR stored a string of their M3 type rail cars at the ‘new’ Arch Street shop
