The Underworld of Rochester Ny - Abandoned Subway Tunnels

Were you aware that Rochester, NY had its own subway system? Nope? Neither did i, but soon as i heard about it, i knew i had to see it for myself. Only a small underground section remains of it, but the coolest section of it goes underneath the Rochester Library. With long dark tunnels, signs of homless people, unique graffiti pieces and random sections of rail, this place has a bit of everything. So come along as myself, Cliff the Wandering Woodsman, and Rich & Kara Wolf as we explore the Underworld of Rochester, NY.

Please Note: Exploring Abandoned locations can be dangerous. I don't condone or encourage anyone to enter an Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, i seek out permission. I simply go to document its history before it's gone and leave things the way I find them. I assume all the risks & responsibility in doing so. Please don't attempt to do this on your own.

[@thomasdowns1117]

I did my Master's Thesis on the Rochester Subway after having worked at the Gannett Newspapers for 29 years. The newspapers brought all of their newsprint into their plant via rail car for nearly 70 years. I was in charge of ordering newsprint and rail cars that were delivered through the subway tunnel. There was an 800 foot section of the tunnel that had been walled off to use as a newsprint warehouse from the late 70s thru late 90s. Your segment of the video where you showed two tracks next to each other is for the purpose of switching cars in and out. Consider yourselves fortunate that no major chunks of concrete fell on your head. It has been a persistent problem for many years. I enjoyed the video. Much of the graffiti is impressive and some are beautiful. There is a great deal more that can be told about this story. Thank you for recording and posting the interesting video.

[@KKP-]

Thomas Downs : dig deeper. Kodak brought it nazi scientists and engineers. They did human testing on unsuspecting people. ... down the hole you go I was born and raised in Rochester. It is my home. It is beautiful and ideal for raising a family. Like all other states and countries there is a dark side. I have been researching the dark side starting with first hand knowledge and a lot of physical artifacts from the era. That is the perspective I am coming from regarding this subject. In no way am I trying to defame my beautiful city or it’s people. We were all fooled. Of course I don’t have to tell the people that were riddled with cancer and other horrific deadly diseases inflicted upon them unwillingly. There is no independent media any longer. It’s all a narrative you must follow. I would look in areas that are not from a main stream media agenda/narrative. Believe it or don’t. Always a choice

[@KKP-]

If people really knew what this project actually was ... Congress is saying we need another “Manhattan project level testing” What did it test ? They tested humans with injection. What is in those injections.. radiation. Mercury etc. But the government would never hurt its people.?!? So what does one think they are going to put into this new cold vaccine ? (It is a cold) Good things? Like thimerisol? Which is mercury for those unaware. Try researching darpa hydrogel It wraps around your dna and makes a third strand. Any belief in Jesus Christ knows that will defile his creation. Who wants to defile Gods creation? Satan. Time is short. This technology makes us slaves. Look it up, I want you too.

Nice to see that the river is as dirty as it always was back in the 70’s and 80’s. I also remember having dinner in the restaurant at the top of the building (With the round top) in one of your photos. The restaurant turned and you had 360 deg views while you ate dinner. :-)

I worked at Gannett Newspapers, which was on the corner of Exchange St.and Broad St. from 1955 to 1995. When I first started there was an active station on the North side of Broad St. The subway tracks, until 1996, were used by trains to carry large rolls of newsprint from the Port of Charlotte to the basement of the building. Large doors and ramps allowed lifts to carry the rolls from the train into Gannett's basement. I was never in the tunnel, itself, but looked through the door area and could see the old station.

If you want to see as complete a journey as one can take on the old subway, look for a video called "The End of the Line" and check out the last minutes for their "ride through". As a member of the Rochester community I can tell you that before all the cement walls and modern construction, the walk under Rochester was terrifying and beautiful.

Always look forward to the next one! 🙃

[@notanotherfuckingnikki]

FUA crew members (those responsible for the awesome street art you're seeing here) aren't really seen as vandals here in ROC... they're actually commissioned and paid by a slew of business and building owners to paint murals or original art on the sides of said buildings (it wasn't always that way, in the early 90s, original members of the crew, even though they have always been known as the best of the best taggers, had to be discreet when working (repelling down the sides of bridges in the dead of night etc to leave their mark) and many of them went on to do big things with art, from owning tattoo shops to becoming graphic designers for large corporations such as Nike.... And I agree, the masonry work is astonishing, considering it was done in 1823 when the Erie Canal aquedeuct was completed (the subway was built in the original Erie Canal bed)

[@barneymiller7894]

They do, but if its not a permission spot it gets buffed by most cities even if the place is abandoned. Thats part of graffiti though, its fleeting by nature! Especially Subway graffiti as in on actual trains, guys in Europe will spend hours to infiltrate and paint a whole car or even whole train knowing it will be buffed within 24 hours. 1UP Crew from Germany even painted the MS Mediterranean Sky, the cruise ship that capsized off the coast of Greece.

Rochester NY gets a bad rap in the 21st century. It was a thriving metropolis in the 20th century and to think in the early part of that time there existed the technological ability to divert an historic deep canal elsewhere to create a subway system. For unknown reasons the 'right-of-way' access appears to be maintained in a limited fashion perhaps by the municipality. Great video.

Used to be boxcars under what I believe to be the Gannett building. Broad street by the junction of Allen & Canal up to Main Street by the original Nick Tahoes was torn up & replaced in the mid 70's which may have been the newer construction you saw.

Hi Jay, a very interesting location, my favourite part was the water gushing from under that bridge/walkway you could feel the deadly power just by watching, also I loved the music and photo montage. A very cool explore, thanks for sharing your day. x

9:30 This is so interesting! I’m almost always at the detail in graffiti art, especially since most are done with spray paint. Shout out to you for frequently going beyond just basic “touring “ to investigate more. (Climbing The old stairs).

To fill you in on a bit of the "how dey do dat?" the paint Graffiti artist are using isnt exactly regular hardware store spray paint like Rustoleum or Krylon. Its still spray paint, but the mixture is very different. This stuff is thick, like instant coverage in one coat thick, and it dries within a few seconds of contact. And the cans are high pressure, so no need to shake. Theres also many different sizes of caps available that have spray patterns from very thin up to about a foot wide. Popular brands of paint with Graffiti writers are Molotow, Montana, Flame, Clash, and many others depending on country.

At the 28:00 mark. I now know where you are. I use to park on that bridge to see the Rochester Amerks. Very interesting video tour. Thank You. I lived in the Town of Greece from 1968 to 1990 and then moved to Webster.

Sometime when your exploring you should talk to a homeless person and get his perspective on life. I think a lot of people might be interested to hear how they survive, they aren't all bad people.

[@izzyh6831]

I agree! So many homeless people are either veterans, or teens kicked out by their parents, or other people who just haven't been as fortunate in life.

[@Sandy-is2kf]

Well stated!! You never know why a homeless person is in that situation. God Bless them!!!

[@CallMeAdam2023]

@Bill Williams it's not always drugs & mental illness. You are a shallow minded person.

[@Sandy-is2kf]

@@CallMeAdam2023 Thank you so much Ace 88_RC!!! I was just fixing to say something and read your comment!! God Bless you for speaking up. You are correct it is not always drugs or mental illness.

[@Sandy-is2kf]

@Bill Williams, you have spoken out of turn young man. Homelessness can happen to any of us at anytime. It is a fact of life. Most families live paycheck to paycheck. We made donations at the drop inn center. There were families in there: Moms, Dads and children. Elderly people. It is very sad. Yes some homeless might have a mental illness or take illegal drugs but they are not all in those situations. Be gentle and kind with people, all people Bill. You never know what situation you might be in one day. Don't judge, volunteer to help, donate some used coats, hats, gloves and other nice used garments you are not using anymore. Thank you for listening Bill. You took the first step to caring. 🙏🌞
