pictures from the 35th floor of a skyscraper under construction and an abandoned railroad track 50ft below the art museum.

if anyone from philly wants any info on how to get to these places, IM me, i'd rather not talk about it on here.

we stopped about a half a mile in because it smelled like some form of gas really bad. after uploading the pictures you could actually see the gas in the air like haze. scary shit.

big cities dude, definitely the place to be if youre not afraid to sneak into places.

and i wish the pictures could have been better actually, but it was pitch black in the tunnel and i couldn't autofocus/flash on the building because i was afraid the light would attract attention.

hahahah i remember looking at your away message the one day with the checklist, and i was like "damn im going to have to check SR in a couple days he will have them posted up"


so sick man, ive never really been in that gnar of spots. I've been on top of the tallest building around here, and got a few shots with my old sony cam, but maybe sometime ill be able to get out there again and get some better pictures from the top.

Hey sean, come to xw. dont even have to ride, just shred the gnar with the d40

thats sick sean. i kind of want to hear the stories about the places. like the railroad tracks. did you guys just sneak in there, like is it just open. and howd you guys get up so high in that building? do they already have stairs in them?

no its cool, i just meant i didnt want random dumbass kids from around here showing up to these places, getting caught, and ruining it for everyone else.


the railroad tracks you'd never know about, really. one of my roommates read about them online. theyre right under a main street, but you cant see them at all. to get to them we had to go through the woods, hop a fence, climb under another, but youre right there, not too bad.


skyscraper was alot harder. i ended up having to climb a fence with a 20ft drop on the other side, crawl sideways across it mario style, until i got to an area where i could drop. then the whole worksite has spotlights everywhere on the ground floor, so you fell all james bond hiding in the shadow and jumping behind cement piles trying not to get seen since this is in the middle of philly with people everywhere. once you get in the building its not hard though, theres stairs going up about 30 floors. the top 5 floors are a little more shady since you have to climb ladders, and to get a bunch of the shots i had to climb these beams to get to an elevated level, but the worst part is definitely getting into the construction site.

the red things you see are the beams i had to climb up to get to the top. that was a definitely scary, but its one of those "dont look down" things and youre alright.

Light a cigarette down there, you won't! Did anybody smoke anything down there and try to blow it up?

haha no, that probably couldve ended up bad. i actually had my shirt over my mouth half the time because the smell was so strong. i dont know what is was, but i got the feeling if i stayed there much longer i'd pass out.


edit: another thing that was really weird was that when you exhaled you could see your breath. it was about 75 degrees and really humid in there, so i have no clue how thats even possible.
