Exploring half-abandoned subway tunnels and avoiding workers | Bowery station - Undercity NYC

[@Nickdifilip]

Holy crap. I knew subscribing was worth it I never would have seen this

[@andrewwonder]

That is so kind. So glad you enjoyed it. Hope you’ll enjoy the bridge on Wednesday

[@aarongameryt1210]

@@andrewwonder hey it seems we can’t go there on fridays no more because they are cleaning up there and bring back two stations so they trying to reopen abandoned Bowery station

[@andrewwonder]

@@aarongameryt1210 Wouldn't that be great. I remember when they started letting people ride through city hall. I don't know why they hide so much beautiful history. Thanks for watching.

@@andrewwonder can i find these full episodes on vimeo or what

[@mrerok]

The red signal means a train can't pass that signal . It will pull right up to that signal . And that's a guard rail next to the running rail not an old track . They run work trains and reroute trains all the time . Be careful and never assume a train isn't coming.. always assume a train can come any time from any direction.

I cant believe you guys are back. No words right now

[@andrewwonder]

Thanks for sticking with us. Hope you’ll enjoy all we release the next few weeks

[@rinxclaps7116]

@@andrewwonder Thank you! Just a quick question, will you be releasing longer videos? Or just shorts

[@andrewwonder]

@@rinxclaps7116 The clips are a variety of lengths but mostly shorts. I wanted to start releasing some of our finds that couldn't be in the original film (some don't exist anymore) after discovering the footage again. We have a long one coming out on the calendar that I hope you will enjoy. Thanks for watching

[@rinxclaps7116]

@@andrewwonder Thank you for the wonderful news. I will stay tuned

[@jcpenny3606]

I can't believe they took a stroll through the rat-infested creepy subway tunnel, and somehow came out alive. I guess they got bored of the grand canyons, the eiffel tower, egypt, and mount everest. This is their next step at raising the ante.

[@wesa4311]

Been waiting 10 years :)

[@andrewwonder]

Wait no more! Hope you enjoy them all.

[@rekhyl]

Yess you are alive, subscribing was worth it in the end. The new york underground documentary has always been my favourite. Rewatched it at least ten times. Cant wait to see what you guys are up to.

[@andrewwonder]

That means so much to me. These years have been like the ocean figuring out where and how to work and I'm so excited to have all this work to share with you.

[@rekhyl]

@@andrewwonder Cant wait! Probably a long shot but do you by any chance still have the original file for the underground urban exploration vid? Having the source file instead of the compressed mp4 youtube version would be amazing. (And by the way, your youtube channel link in the description is broken)

[@andrewwonder]

@@rekhyl Thanks! Just fixed it. Check it on vimeo, see if that gets you a better version. Thank you for all the great words and good looking out on the link

[@ChaplinONLINE]

Great to see you back

[@andrewwonder]

[@NotAJosh]

I have been re watching the city hall video waiting for this day! Can’t wait for more awesome vids to come!

[@andrewwonder]

Aww! Thank you for the kind words! I hope you enjoy them all. let me know what are your favorites as we post.

[@Mr.OCanada]

Was waiting for your return. You are unique. Looking forward to what you show us!

[@andrewwonder]

Thank you! Hope you always think so highly of us!

[@WilliamSmith-c4i]

You guys do an incredible job, creating the content and editing, hope you keep it up; this is a million sub channel!!

[@andrewwonder]

I hope so! It's my dream to keep exploring all parts of this city and share it directly with an audience as opposed to needing brands or gatekeepers. There was almost an Undercity TV show at one point (we had an airdate and pilot). I've see over and over how these little ideas get killed by the process. I hope this channel can be a place I can bring you these explorations in a way that stays untouched and directly made for you.

[@thecrooklynite2129]

YES! STEVE AND YOU ARE BACK AGAIN!

[@delmuswu-tangbroadnax9056]

I can't believe he's posted a vid 11 years ago and this is 11 months ago

[@Skapo]

Daaaang. Talk about a throwback to the past. Excited to see what you guys are up to. Oh and small suggestion for audio. Might be worth getting an external recorder. Maybe something with 32bit float audio so that you can adjust the peaks in post and so that you still have solid range for when you need to talk, but have to deal with intermittent super loud sounds.

[@andrewwonder]

I am totally with you. We lost a lot of audio recorders in those tunnels and you could imagine how it worked when I tried a lav! At one point I built a little recorder onto Steve's belt with a lav. What always surprised me in the mix is how important the on-camera sound is to make it feel like the experience.

[@vlvvv2064]

Your vids are awesome. Glad you're back

[@andrewwonder]

Awww thank you! Hope you keep enjoying them. Let me know which you enjoy most as we roll them out. I can't wait to share Strains with you and our underground adventures in Vegas

Welcome back!!!

Thank you for staying! Hope you enjoy our bridge climb

[@TheLastSupperNYC]

That older looking rusted over rail isn’t actually a rail the trains wheels run over. It’s a guard rail to stop the train from completely losing direction in the event of a derailment on the curve.

[@Mr.Eluder1]

Just about to say the same thing....

[@DrBeah]

He's at a switch. Both main and diverging routes show the same wear. Given the location, there's no traffic through there.

[@TheLastSupperNYC]

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

@@andrewwonderI have a question - in the last video where he was exploring the subways and the like, in the part of the video where he was exploring the homeless people living on the west side in the tunnels... I want to tread carefully to not risk exposing these people's location so they can just live in peace, but I am left wondering where off the beaten path of Amtrak's west side line that is - if it is close to an old wye, and if those aren't questions you feel comfortable answering, how much old yard track did y'all observe off the main line? (since the west side used to be COVERED in rail lines) Hope my rambling made SOME sense XD
