Sunnyside Yard
Queens, NY - Peter - Monday, March 23rd, 2009 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
This is the abandoned rail line leading up and into Sunnyside Yard
in Sunnyside, Queens
Despite the huge volume of Long Island Rail Road and New York City Subway traffic that
passes through this rail-yard on an almost minute-by-minute basis, this particular spur seems to
have gone unused for quite a long time
Weeds quietly grow on the elevated rail-bed while commuter trains slither in and out of the yard below
The outbound LIRR tunnels
Good thing the security cameras are so focused on the tracks that they can't see you pass behind them
The Queensboro Bridge lies just to the west of the Sunnyside Yard
And just to the southwest is 5 Pointz
Inbound tunnel
Some interesting linkage:

Luke1972: Damn, cameras on tracks? That is hardcore.

Cctv got the tracks on lock down. Damn shame. Writers keep the trains pretty..
Peter: quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

i think the cameras, btw, are intended more to keep an eye on the trains than the graf... but you never know...

In that top picture in the upper right right by the tracks under the IDCNY are two transit police vehicles. How the FUCK did you just walk through there? Are you invisible?
