Subway-Exploration

Subway exploring posts only.

137th street Subway Yard

The 137th street subway yard is one of the few subway yards built in NYC that is entirely underground.



The L is not Future Proof

The L train was not designed for the future.



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.



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.

“Do you want to die tonight?”

The end of this tunnel was once filled with the ashes of many unnamed victims. Ashes of those who met a horrid death that I watched with my own eyes and could smell and taste for days beyond. You don’t forget something like that, ever.

In 2003 me and Rebel SC came across this very long abandoned Staten Island Rapid Transit car.



Q Cars

In 2001, I came across a set of 3 old wooden subway cars parked in Sunset Park, across the street from the old Davidson Pipe storage facility (which today is a Costco store). As luck would have it, they were parked in a small former SBK yard with no fence. These were the last wooden […]



R28 cars 7926-7927 at Fresh Pond & Sunset Park in 2006

In the early 2000’s the Illinois Railway Museum bought two R28 ‘Redbird’ subway cars. By 2005 they were stored at the Cross Harbor yard in Sunset Park. Within a few months they were moved up Fresh Pond yard.
