Exploring 100 Year Old Rail Tunnel Under Huge Factory

This old abandoned plant is a place that I have frequented many times. To explore, do photoshoots and for light painting. This time it was because of a person who commented on my YouTube video of exploring a storm drain under the building. He explained that he had worked in the building while it was active and told me there are dry tunnels under it, accessible from the inside.

How could I resist trying to find them? I couldn't! So a friend and I approached the building. Immediately noting that the decay has quickly set in to the building. Windows and window frames falling out, bowing walls and collapsing roofs. It hasn't been in good shape at all, for decades. But the deterioration has advanced very fast in the last year!

From the inside it looked about the same as it always does, an incredible industrial building with a sense of the apocalypse.

Within minutes we found the first entrance for a tunnel and were inside of it.

So incredible that after a decade of exploring this place, I had never found these! We walked the tunnel for about 200 feet, noting the bases for the rail line that once operated inside.

Then I even found the stop button for the line.

Unfortunately this is where our journey in the tunnel came to an end. We were met with steps going down and that section flooded with around 2 feet of water.

We will finish the tunnel after it has been cold enough for the water to fully freeze and it becomes walkable!

We continued searching for more tunnel entrances and found a couple in this area.

These were also flooded, so they will be explored when frozen as well.

We decided to stick around and shoot some more. When in Rome right? Starting with some of the murals.

Then just taking in the apocalyptic vibes.

Right when I thought we were finished, my friend came over and asked. Have you ever seen what is inside of this door? I thought about it and couldn't remember if I had or not. To which he replied, then no you haven't. Always a good sign lol. It was a boiler room that had always been sealed off and we hadn't seen.

It is always amazing finding new things and I am so happy that we found the tunnels. Which we will be returning to soon!
