Abandoned Bowery Side Platform, 2012
The virus had me within its grips. The week long struggle had placed me in a painfully immobile state, wasting away the afternoons and evenings snoozing in bed, doped up on a confused mix of painkillers and steroids. There’s not enough meds in the world though to cure that third-rail itch though, and a journalist in town from Australia was itching for some action… so there was only one thing to do. -
Winfield: Scunthole’s Lair 2012
The winfield is one of the largest stretches of ‘abandoned’ tunnel within the NYC subway system today, in a legion with the Harlem section of the Second Ave Subway, and The Suicide Tunnel. What sets the winfield apart though is that it was completed with a rare station shell that was tiled and prepped for use (all other station shells of this variety were never tiled or completed to full size – Think Underbelly). The only thing missing from this station and tunnel is a set of tracks and a destination for those tracks. The subway line is meant to serve was never actually built – leading the tunnel to an unceremonious dead end. Much of the station area today has been completely rebuilt to accommodate offices and crew locker rooms. The remaining section of the platform is now ‘scunts lair’, a dark place piled with miscellaneous electronic junk.

9th Ave Lower
9th Ave’s Lower Level is a location festering with filth and decay. Situated at the edge of the MTA’s largest staging yards for work trains, this station has been abandoned for almost as many years as I’ve been alive. It last saw use as the terminal for the old culver shuttle, though it also hosted freight trains – making it significantly more rarified than your average abandoned NYC subway station.
Today it sits as it has since being closed: dark, dirty, and worm out from lack of care. Work trains pass through and lay up at this station all the time, though no one has stopped to maintain it in years.

The Underbelly Project
Located in an abandoned section of NYC subway tunnel, the Underbelly project was a major art production with over 100 artists involved. Here is a rare glimpse into this gallery of grand art.
