Yes, Malc, I have always been frightened of them since childhood. I have seen three of them in my life (an Emerson in storage at a local hospital in the 1960's when I was just a few years old and I also saw two Drinker models in use at a VA hospital in the late 1970's).

wow, that would be a tragic thing to find yourself under. anyone up for barbeque?

that water is part of the gennesee aqueduct and the erie canal.it is much more flooded than in recent years and the catwalk is falling apart even more.i was there this past fall/winter.there has been talk of either filling the whole thing in with dirt or making it an ever changing exhibit for urban art.in the 1930s it started dying down in use with only limited runs till the 1950`s then only small freight lines until the late 1990`s for gannet newspaper company.now its mostly inhabited by rochesters homeless also known as mole people so its not the safest place come dusk.some of the original tunnel was filled in with dirt already i think around 2004.this link has many pics of what the aqueduct looked like and much more http://www.oprhp.state...w.asp?GroupView=4164 this is deff a great spot for urbex but no known paranormals as far as i have heard.

As a young child in the early 1960's, while visiting a neighbor who was in the hospital, I clearly remember seeing two similar machines lined up at the end of a corridor ... the sight scared me then and still does today. Superb picture.
