i guess i went on my first real exploration today. i don't really have any
info on the site itself but for some good history of the place, you can
check out this website
i started out not knowing which way to go, being that the tracks go in
two directions
i was in search of the Atlantic Avenue LIRR station. sort
of a novice mission but that's how things are in the
beginning.
really long paths is pretty much all it was at first
the whole thing felt pretty sketch most of the time
i kept thinking i would fall through the floor or something
i came across all sorts of weird shit along the way
there was a club house type thing under the
tracks where the ground seemed to collapse
there came a point where the tracks ended  at a
bridge and there wasn't anything on the other side
i managed to get back on track, these are the rest of the photos i
took along the way
"we fly high"
clothesline
long day indeed
once i finally found the station i felt so accomplished
here are the remains of what used to be an entrence/exit
looking back
there were people living on the platform but they asked me not to take
their photo. A woman named Toni said she'd been living here for 8 years
now and that after letting a photographer shoot photos of her and the
others living there the police raided the area and kicked them out. the
only two there at the time were Toni and a woman from California. she
didn't tell me her name, how long she'd been there, or how she got there.
Toni told me that there used to be about 7 or 8 people living there at one
time but after the first raid alot of the people left to find other places to
stay
long walks
