	FDNYMedic Type X Blood is commonly used to denote blood that has tested positive for an infectious disease, like TB. Usually, it's disposed of quickly and safely. Guess safety was out of the question in this place.

	FDNYMedic Security at an abandoned property. At first, it seems like a senseless and pointless idea. Then you see people like Mr. Motts, and I mean this with all due respect. But he means no harm, and simply aims to bring to light some of the most spectacular and eerie sites in the world. Working security here could quite possibly be one of the most boring jobs on Earth.

	FDNYMedic Nothing beats the smell of a weeks-old deceased human being. I've seen a bunch of those, mostly the elderly. Imagine the scent of the most rotted food and meat and multiply it by 10. I know exactly how you felt, Motts. It's a smell you never forget.

	FDNYMedic I was thinking the same. It's so eerie. You'd never guess this place was abandoned.

	FDNYMedic When I first started bowling at the age of 4, we had 2 bowling alleys nearby in Bellmore that featured the same kind of ball returns and alleys. Oh, how I remember those days. Great find, Motts.

	FDNYMedic As I said before in the previous photo, this looks like an early-model Reeves Stretcher. Could be used to carry patients without using gurneys, with enough straps you can pretty much tie people down tight. Very popular on today's ambulances, though obviously much more modern.

FDNYMedic Agree with EMT557. Definitely looks like an early-model Reeves Stretcher. Small wooden beams reinforced with nylon outer coating. Very durable and tough to crack. Most likely used to carry patients up and down staircases, transporting from room to room when stretchers weren't available. I've even seen them used to carry deceased persons. Unfortunately, in Manhattan, they're not in protocol. Though they should be, considering some of the walk-ups we have. Great find, Motts.

	FDNYMedic maybe because it's frozen in time? Or maybe they used different kinds of paint? Who knows....but I agree this is definately one of the best "frozen in time" shots I've ever seen

	FDNYMedic The fact it mentions Baghdad might lead me to believe that it was left here possibly during the first Gulf War????

	FDNYMedic I kinda agree with Canada. The newer cars today, particularly the ones I ride in New York, carry about 750hp per car.

	FDNYMedic My uncle works as a conductor for the Long Island Railroad. The senior engineers routinely do 100 mph in the new Bombardier M-7 Electric and older Diesel Locomotives...but only late at night when they're moving trains around (they don't top 70 with passengers onboard). It's dangerous but fun.

	FDNYMedic Edelweiss...named after a rare flower in Germany. Grows only in the mountains. Anyone see Band Of Brothers? Anyway, great detail Motts. I wouldn't be surprised if the train still works...

	FDNYMedic if that's the case, Motts...you've stumbled on a piece of history...sad that it has degraded so much
