The Incomplete Abandoned Cincinnati Subway (Cincinnati, Ohio)

[@mattcrowley3075]

Great footage!

[@thestars386]

Very interesting video I've read about this and I then looked it up and came across this channel.

[@valeriemott3120]

That looks scary in there! Great video!👍🏼🎥🍿 Good thing you didn’t run into anyone 😬😦💀

[@colekombrinck]

the doors weren’t always locked, and there are some little back way squeezes to get in. such a weird place to be as a kid but i relish those moments nowadays

[@fredbetts3514]

Where are the back ways to get in? I tried to get in once but the doors were locked, and they put concrete barriers in front of the doors.

[@colekombrinck]

@@fredbetts3514 they’re essentially manholes. there’s a couple that aren’t directly on the road but i don’t exactly remember where. sorry about that

I’ve always wanted to check this out thanks for sharing this

[@MatthewSkiba]

No problem!! Any time dude!

[@calebdrake8066]

I went and they had the doors welded shut and concrete pullers I front of the doors

[@PJL7095]

@@calebdrake8066 it’s been awhile since I’ve been in the subway tunnels but we entered another way. If you go further south & keep looking into the land area between the I-75 highway you will see a large concrete square hole. It’s probably 30 feet long & 5 feet wide & 12 feet deep. There are window opening a few feet up (not really windows cause there are no glass) & you climb up & shimmy yourself in. I’d say this is close to downtown

[@erporsche7239]

Walked almost the entire length while employed as an intern at the City 's Historic Preservation Dept. True once in lifetime event, pristine concrete. The utility main was the biggest disappointment. As previously stated, the curved portions of the subway tunnel were not designed to accommodate the "at the time" subway trains, therefore the project was abandoned for one of the many reasons. Gotta love it

[@haylieg2780]

The real reason was money ran out.

[@RangerRickTV]

So I went here two nights ago, and someone put a dang lock on the door. However, I went to the door with the shorter tunnel with the dead dear at the end of it. I will be going back to see if it’s unlocked again soon.

[@jasonriley4914]

What kind of lock? Like a padlock?

[@RangerRickTV]

@@jasonriley4914 ya just a basic lock.

[@pixelsec3026]

Try it again, I took it off

[@justinfelser2696]

Still no lock?

[@RangerRickTV]

What up dog? I'm heading to Cincinnati in 2 weeks. Going to check this place out!

[@MatthewSkiba]

Nice!! It's definitely worth going to and looking into it's history!

[@JensenRiley96]

I went to check it out today to see if the doors were still unlocked and they’re not:( how did you know when the doors would be unlocked?

[@seasides68]

Hey while your there check out Cincinnati mills mall its an "abandoned" mall although its still open it only has 2 Tennants

[@johnburke1317]

Nice video 📹

[@MatthewSkiba]

Hey thank you John! Check out my other stuff if you get the opportunity!

[@JensenRiley96]

I’m a Cincinnati Urban Explorer for TikTok and I’m trying to get into this place. Stopped by the doors today and they were locked. How did you know when they were going to be unlocked?

[@MatthewSkiba]

If I’d tell you, then I’d have to tell everyone right?! So I just happened to walk by and noticed it being unlocked, plus you see it in my drone footage. I just got lucky. 😅 I had no plan on going in.

[@JensenRiley96]

Guess I’ll just have to keep checking every now and then and hope I get lucky haha, if you find yourself in cinci again I have a great location I’d love to share with you!

[@MatthewSkiba]

@@JensenRiley96 I’ll say it wasn’t the easiest to get to this spot. I’m based in Cincinnati actually. So...

[@MatthewSkiba]

@@JensenRiley96 Now you’ve peaked my interest.

[@MatthewSkiba]

@@JensenRiley96 whatever happened to that great location you wanted to share with me?

[@oddoperator3524]

You got balls that place is scary and I know some people do drugs and that type of stuff in there

[@RangerRickTV]

How many miles long did you guys walk

[@MatthewSkiba]

I'll be honest, it was a good 2.5 miles of walking back and forth. So 5 miles of walking was a good enough workout that day.

[@RangerRickTV]

@@MatthewSkiba did y’all happen to reach the end of it? If so how long did it take you to walk all the way ?

[@MatthewSkiba]

@@RangerRickTV yeah so we ended up being very close to the end of the tunnels. We should gone a little more because then we would have seen the Race Street station.

[@jacktheripper8532]

I went recently. And there was a concrete block blocking the entrance. Was it moved?

[@courtneymassie7630]

Did you guys have to get special permission, everytime I have gone (4 times) it's always locked

[@MatthewSkiba]

Honestly, you can’t get permission to into a place like this since the city owns it.

[@jracer7189]

You can it’s called an angle grind

[@jtnaehring9670]

I live in Cincinnati and still haven’t seen this hoping to soon!

[@MatthewSkiba]

Well my advise to you is do it at your own risk. Honestly I still feel a little guilty for doing it but best of luck to you!

[@CableGuyJoeCCTV]

One of the other issues that caused the demise is where they were making Bend curves, they made them too short and cars couldn't navigate it even if it did get completed....

[@skygard49]

I've seen it but never had the chance to explore or research it

[@owenkh8195]

Can someone please explain to me how to get in 🙏

[@MatthewSkiba]

It’s a secret. 🤫

[@exodus6996]

@@MatthewSkiba We want to experience it too!!🙏

[@Alvinyokatori]

I think I know where those grates are lol

[@Scorned405]

The place has to be infested with rats
