I've wanted to go here for about five years now. It sucks because I was at the Rochester Baseball stadium to see the Grateful Dead in '88, and I had no idea it existed then.
I was researching abandoned shit and this was the site that was the most captivating. The pics I saw at the time also included a daring catwalk over water that looked dangerous as fuck.

I myself love the subway system here in Rochester. I run an urban exploration group at RIT and we are actively trying to find a way to preserve this wonderful place.

And now the stairs lead to the Dinosaur BBQ, the fun part is, to the left there is a ladder that leads to a river overlook. If you go down to the river from there at low tide and head right tward Broad St. you can go underneath an old RG&E basement that went to a building that no longer exists. Fun Fun Fun ;)

Was just down there today. Creepy place. Wish I had brought my camera, this trip wasn't planned.

Sometimes you can almost see the ghosts of people waiting for a phantom subway to pull up and whisk them away to whatever eerie destination . . . but this spot looks like even the ghosts have abandoned it.
I used to spend time in an old theatre on an abandoned West Coast military base- I swear- as you stood up on the stage- you could feel yourself being watched by the eyes of dead GI's who'd sat there and then gone off to die in the Pacific. It's like they'd returned somehow . . .

I went to RIT and had photographed this while attending. At the time there were city workers who came out of the darkness (backwards in a truck), as me and my friend entered at the ramp entrance. They warned us that there were dangerous people in there often times and at that moment some druggies huffing spray paint. There is a doorway behind the ramp some where the workers spoke of. My friend and I entered anyhow and took the left hall to the side of the raamp rather than the door. Pretty cool place to see once or twice, some areas of water that could be dangerous if uncareful.

the subway was still in existance when I was a kid. and being a kid I explored it. if the city used the money that we spent on the fast ferry to restore the subway our money would have been well spent. instead we filled it with dirt what a shame.

a little further in past this is where most of the "scary people" are to be found, and really more so in the winter. there is an old little building with a little tunnel (marked entrance to hell) where most of the homeless sleep because there are belching steam pipes that keep it really warm all year.
