Why did Rochester got rid of the subway ? i think it was a big mistake for the city are they gonna ever bring or revive the subway back ? the rochester bus service sucks but its cheaper than NYC fares for a dam good price
@madant22 The final stop was at Eastman Kodak. The subway went out as the population started to decline in Rochester as industry moved South the subway was no longer needed as the ridership dropped. Penn Central and later Conrail utilized the line on and off to bring Boxcars loaded with rolls of Paper to the Rochester Democrat and Conical (local newspaper) right up to the early 1990's before losing the contract to trucks.
Good place for me to live since I was kicked out of ABW domestic violence shelter for writing on my facebook wall and DHS refused to place me so I decided to live in an abandoned building until I find an apartment. so do you think I should go here, or to an abandoned house? Gotta love Monroe County!
Id like to look through some of that old garbage - some of it must go back to the 1970s or 80s - like a time capsule (Im looking for certain things) - is that the end that got torn down/filled in though....
lol..."can't see a foot in front of your hand" the saying is "can't see the hand in front of your face" i love that the local artists have really cut loos down there. Good Video ohlenna
Pretty sweet video ohlenna! Its a really cool tunnel to check out, Ive been there 50 times since growing up in the rochester area. Great job looking forward to your other videos!
ha wow, all these years later and they still wanna bury the source. um... how about you put the train back in there??? and have it run on FREE water power thats right next to it?? like they intended.
oh yea, then no one would make money off it..
i forgot people got tricked into thinking money is something.
man kind was never made to make money...
it was meant to create and live make life easier, which money is supposed to do, however they create a fake scarcity of it so we are screwed.
I have a idea! Let's make it a high speed rail line! One of the reason's Rochester has it's problems today is everything moved out to the suburbs along the new highways. Rail lines build downtowns, highways ruin them. I was just there,Court Station station area at night. There's just no parking! Unless you want to pay $4 to $7 to park in a parking lot. At night this is the only part of downtown with life in it. The BQE restaurant is in the Lehigh Valley station on top of the subway station.
There is a video out on the subway operations and it's history. Cinncinnati is better they built their subway and never ran a train. Then built highways over it. Which today are jammed with traffic and $3.00 gas.
@Wehategod Trolleys yes, but at the time there was a electric railroad system it tied into with thousands of miles of track to humdreds of cities. The highway lobby got rid of this, and now are working hard to keep it dead. Rochester has this lobby. People who own parking lots chargeing 4 to 7 dollars to park at night at Court street. Gas station owners, car dealers the list goes on and on. They will decide how you get around, not YOU!
@MegaGobbler yes they do especially really old ones (around 1800's) subways didn't have electric rails until fairly recently (60 or 70 years maybe more)
@MegaGobbler All subways are railroads, and they all ride on railroad tracks. There is no difference. Generally, subways' use EMU trainsets, a pair of cars, semi-permanently coupled together, and coupled together to other pairs, to make a train of anywhere between 4-10 cars long. An electrified third rail runs along side of the tracks, and in the case of the London Underground, a fourth electrified track runs in the middle of the two riding rails. In the case of the MBTA Blue Line, the trains...
@MegaGobbler All you've done is list different kinds of railway track. The concept is all the same.
Subway tracks = Railway tracks
Light rail tracks = Railway tracks
There is NO difference.
But because you refuse the accept that your logic is flawed, I will ask you this: What is the difference between standard railway tracks, and subway tracks?
@Mcoov Please take me to your fantastical world......I need to know the magic land, where bananas are plantains....influenza is ebola.... Yahweh is Allah....Hitler is Stalin....
Study it dongwad. Perhaps you can figure it out. Until then, enjoy communicating in your native tongue.
The one with 4 letters and One word for person, place and thing.
Oh - and if possible - stay away from any mass transit engineering....
@MegaGobbler You still haven't answered my question: What is the difference between subway tracks and railroad tracks? Is it because the tracks are underground? If so, would that mean a train that entered the Hoosac Tunnel, or the Moffat Tunnel, or the Cascade Tunnel, or any tunnel for that matter, would suddenly become a subway train? And what if the train was longer than the tunnel was? Would that mean half the train is a regular train, and the other half is a subway train?
@MegaGobbler Or is it because the tracks are wired with a third rail? If that's the case, then please explain the stretch of Metro-North track from Croton-Harmon to Grand Central Terminal. Is it because of the trainsets that run on the tracks? Not only is that a lame differentiation, but I'd love to see you explain the M8 trainsets that run from GCT to New Haven. Remember, we're only talking about the tracks here, not the signaling system, not the trains themesleves, just the tracks.
@MegaGobbler So please, as I can't seem to find the difference, why don't you enlighten me instead: What is the difference between railroad tracks, and subway tracks?
@MegaGobbler ...receive their power from overhead wires, with pantographs. Some minor exceptions are trainsets in Paris and Montréal, where the subway trains run with rubber tires, and the tracks are wooden planks, bu the concept is exactly the same.
I've walked all that way down the subway with a few friends about a year ago. Once you go in the area you call the darkness was that the area where another abandon lobby was? I remember it was very warm in that area and there were rusty garages with huge steel pillars.
a under ground out door art gallery would be cool, maybe even have shops and cafe's down there too, it would be like a mini neighborhood under every ones feet
The transportation policy of the country is run by car dealers pavers and airport people. What do you think your going to get? They call them the Highway lobby.
cool i didnt know very much about our citiys abandond subway thanks for uploading this! ps did u ever run into homless people while yu were down there?
Brown Street is near the new soccer stadium. the graphitti there is fabulous!! u have to wear waterproof boots to go down a slope and finding large puddles. YOU NEED A VERY BRIGHT FLASHLIGHT!! And it is VEEEEERY creepy!!! They should never fill this in!!! it is a great place for adventurous photographers.
Hey, thanks for the history leson! I'm in Indiana and love to learn about our country's history. I have been to Rochester a few times, and remember seeing remnants of cement walls that were part of the Erie Canal.
Great video! If any thing the city should reactivate it and run interurban passenger trains through it again. It would help give the whole region a kick ass transit system!
nicely done. i like how you gave the history of the place and didn't just jump right into people walking inthe tunnels. might have to go and check that out before it's gone. thanks for the upload!
Ive been in here , Walked the whole thing at night. Pretty scarry with the people sleeping in there. They had a few bands also that play inside there. The last one was about a month ago.
I was born in Rochester and the Dino is my 2nd home, lol! (And yes, it's on South and Court, not Broad) If you've been there, ha, you've probably seen me. Next time you go into the subway I'd love to go along, been dying to see what it looks like and shoot some pix. Sure hope I don't break a leg or cause another McDonalds to go up though! Hey, maybe we can get Osama...err, Obama...to toss a few billion to re-build the subway with his b/s "stimulus package" while we're at it! Nice vid though.
Yes this video is dangerous keep the little kids away! I heard there might be pornographic images somewhere on the internet too. Goodness! Perhaps TV should have an add campaign about the dangers of the internet. That will educate the youth like the parents want them to be.
I think such vids CAN be dangerous; if public officials get wind its more incentive to fill it with dirt; a cheap easy fix to a "problem" - crime! danger! etc- Public officials arent interested in hi$toric pre$ervation or public tran$portation.(guess why) they want quick fixes.
The solution? public lobby, make a petition, but try to avoid encouraging adventerous teens going in there & coming out pregnant, with broken legs or whateverelse that whiney republicans will want to kill the structure.
- "more incentive to fill it in with dirt" - already being done.
- "avoid encouraging adventurous teens going in and coming out pregnant" - what now? They are adventurous by nature. You are quoting the Black Sabbath defence here - evil music made them do it. Going into an abandoned subway does not, by extent, make one pregnant.
- Petitions and lobbying are nice and seldom work. Public awareness works as well. I guess you didn't catch the whole historical aspect of this video, eh?
you seem to miss the point as well as the other one, i can beat you over the head with it but it seems you are both stupid the point is, thats the argument OTHER PEOPLE USE , you fool!
and with regards to your attitude towards petitions and lobbys , first you are wrong and second we pay tax money to have a government to support our community, hisoric preservation is a part of that, not filling things in with dirt, it is the PUBLICS responsitbily to be ACTIVE in their own communities-
posting the sorts of messages you post here only encorages the opposite of what I just desribed, you want wall marts, burger kings, and mc donalds every where you turn for the rest of your life? keep thinking, saying and doing like you do and thats what you get wake the fuck up and listen to what other people advise you.
Yes sure, why don't you just try doing some underground? You may understand what we say, untill then, just keep quiet and don't talk about things you just haven't ever experienced. Go protect your own kids, I repeat, I started doing underground since I was 12. Just take care ok?
PS: keep your mc do's, burger kings and any other american fast food or anticulture shit for you. Oh, yea... and the gov's... sure they will do everything for the community.
iep tell me what's the problem then? you say this vid's are bad because teens can go inside and get injured (or... pregnant???)and so the state will make this buildings become a mc do... and you don't wanna the state destroy this buildings? that's what i understood. Or just explain it better...
I think such vids CAN be dangerous; if public officials get wind its more incentive to fill it with dirt; a cheap easy fix to a "problem" - crime! danger! etc- Public officials arent interested in hi$toric pre$ervation or public tran$portation.(guess why) they want quick fixes.
The solution? public lobby, make a petition, but try to avoid encouraging adventerous teens going in there & coming out pregnant, with broken legs or whateverelse that whiney republicans will want to kill the structure.
I started going underground xploration when I was 12, i'm 20 actually and never got injured. The main problem is showing this places as if there was no dangers.
well yeah, whatever you say, i just think teens actually go inside this buildings anyway there are vids or not, the problem is showing this vids as we were kids playing with no mind of what we are doing. And, actually, thats concidered a crime and dangerous by autho's.
poosaypirate, why must you talk like a moron and use this as another forum for your pathetic political views? Liberal: one so open minded their brain fell out!
Most people I know who explore these locations are adults (30+) so they're not "kids playing with no mind of what they're doing". They're quite aware of the dangers and take appropriate action. You missed the point entirely of the historical significance of the location and why it should be preserved.
Technically, Rochester's "Subway" wasn't a subway. Rather it was a streetcar system with power taken from an overhead wire and trolley pole. The term "subway" did not refer to the tunnel, but to the fact that the route was grade-separated and operated as rapid transit.When the Utica streetcar system was abandoned in the late 1930s, New York State Railways transferred the relatively new steel cars to Rochester to replace the 2000-series center-door cars.
Use low flow streetcars to supply service. the region would now be large enough to support subway service.if other bus and other new streetcar lines would act as feeder routes.
Very cool video! I was born and raised here. In my opinion they should have never done away with the subway system, as I am sure it would have branched out further into the suburbs and we could have all benefited from its service, especially today with gas prices as they are, I would take the subway.
Well, I'm glad this Video Was Posted. I've been in There Numerous Times, and It's Frankly. Not To Scary. Now Since they've started filling it in. It's Gotten Darker, Sooner up. But It's Still Quite a Site. and Yes, They Did chose to fill it in, but good news to Travelers, and graffiti artists, they are only filling in the North End. So We Still have Some room The Play in, and It should be a great site to visit while in Rochester.
I have to thank you for this picture tour of the Rochester Subway. I'm a Rochester resident and have always wanted to go down there but didn't know if it was safe as far as the type of people living down there. We have brave people like you to show us the sights ! Unfortunately, it was in the news that they will be filling the tunnels in with dirt, which is sad. I'm all for preserving the city's history, especially the subway. Anyway, great vid and thank again !
Toronto has a similar subway system to what you describe here, spanning the entire city and it's suburbs, with most of each end of the main line above ground. there are a few urban exploration videos of it bumping around on youtube, including an abandoned subways station still kept in running order, good stuff. Great job on this video and keep'em coming.
Not sure about the show - I don't believe in hauntings myself so didn't get that "vibe" from this place or any other that I have visited. I guess people get a little freaked out by abandoned places.

well yeah, whatever you say, i just think teens actually go inside this buildings anyway there are vids or not, the problem is showing this vids as we were kids playing with no mind of what we are doing. And, actually, thats concidered a crime and dangerous by autho's.

Most people I know who explore these locations are adults (30+) so they're not "kids playing with no mind of what they're doing". They're quite aware of the dangers and take appropriate action. You missed the point entirely of the historical significance of the location and why it should be preserved.

I'm not saying you are doing this... I just say what is wrong is showing this places as if there were no dangers... not said you showed like this...
take care

Technically, Rochester's "Subway" wasn't a subway. Rather it was a streetcar system with power taken from an overhead wire and trolley pole. The term "subway" did not refer to the tunnel, but to the fact that the route was grade-separated and operated as rapid transit.When the Utica streetcar system was abandoned in the late 1930s, New York State Railways transferred the relatively new steel cars to Rochester to replace the 2000-series center-door cars.

There were even electric powered freight trains that used the subway time to time, this was an interurban like Pacific Electric in L.A.

What'd they use? Steeple cab locomotives or freight motors?

From the photos that I have seen they were using both. Today it would be a great commuter rail line!

Rochester should put the subway back in.
Use low flow streetcars to supply service. the region would now be large enough to support subway service.if other bus and other new streetcar lines would act as feeder routes.

Very cool video! I was born and raised here. In my opinion they should have never done away with the subway system, as I am sure it would have branched out further into the suburbs and we could have all benefited from its service, especially today with gas prices as they are, I would take the subway.

Well, I'm glad this Video Was Posted. I've been in There Numerous Times, and It's Frankly. Not To Scary. Now Since they've started filling it in. It's Gotten Darker, Sooner up. But It's Still Quite a Site. and Yes, They Did chose to fill it in, but good news to Travelers, and graffiti artists, they are only filling in the North End. So We Still have Some room The Play in, and It should be a great site to visit while in Rochester.

I have to thank you for this picture tour of the Rochester Subway. I'm a Rochester resident and have always wanted to go down there but didn't know if it was safe as far as the type of people living down there. We have brave people like you to show us the sights ! Unfortunately, it was in the news that they will be filling the tunnels in with dirt, which is sad. I'm all for preserving the city's history, especially the subway. Anyway, great vid and thank again !

Toronto has a similar subway system to what you describe here, spanning the entire city and it's suburbs, with most of each end of the main line above ground. there are a few urban exploration videos of it bumping around on youtube, including an abandoned subways station still kept in running order, good stuff. Great job on this video and keep'em coming.

Not sure about the show - I don't believe in hauntings myself so didn't get that "vibe" from this place or any other that I have visited. I guess people get a little freaked out by abandoned places.

what happend to that show Urban Explorers? why do people think just because a place is abandoned it must be haunted?
