Fellow Orioles fan? I think it would be cool if someone started at the beginning and walked the route the cars actually took, shoewed where the tracks where, entrance from above points, and where they loaded, if known. Be neat if they could do something with it.
My brother me and a few others used to walk through the subway at that time it was still completely open nothing had been blocked off it even had rails and a few trian cars
Those were the days! My dad used to walk down here with his friends and had lots of fun stories. Sounds like you must of had some interesting times down there, so cool!
some 45 years ago I worked for an engineering company that was doing a study on how to revitalize this system, unfortunately the board that oversaw the study had no real understanding of transit and demanded that the system be entirely grade separated with no grade crossing or such and other demands. The result was a project so costly that the city even with federal aid couldn't afford it and the project was abandoned. Even at that point in time a lot of the tunneling was effectively worthless as they had allowed an interstate highway to bisect the tunnel. I believe that the NYC railroad use one of the tracks to access the printing facility of the newspaper but I believe that was closed and moved out of the city. It was just like the Boston system, a downtown tunnel to route the trolley's under the streets to avoid downtown congestion, it was a good idea but the folks rather have buses. Today Xerox has moved away and is not the company it once was and Kodak is only a shadow of its former self. Today the major employers are the university and the health systems, it was the golden hope of upstate NY but that is now lost and the entire region is rusting just like these tunnels.
Hello, Thank you for the words. Zach (the one speaking more) does not live here. I live in Rochester though, the one who edits, and you can hear my voice less in the video. That’s so cool! Enjoy it if you do, it’s always a fun time in abandoned subway 😊😊

Route regional rail trains through these tunnels and run them like in Switzerland
Thank you for all the information. Truly. Even though I have lived here most of my life it’s fascinating reading new things.
If I go there years later will cup still be there ?😅
Probably could count on that haha
You have a gift!! Do you live in Rochester? I am totally scoping this entrance to the subway out this week.

Do you think the entrance next to Dino BBQ is still open?
I was there not to long ago, the gate was open:)

@horrorfilms2022 I saw your other comment but somehow don’t see it anymore. But, I wanted to thank you for the sub, and kind words:).

which entrance is this?
Hello,
The entrance we took was right next to the Dinosaur BBQ. There’s a gate unlocked, usually, and can just walk down.
