TSC: what's left

There used to be two (or possibly three?) other sets of train tracks running through here, unused long enough for a forest to grow over it (this last one is (not very, but still) active) - the tree in the first note is from november. Not long after that, they cut down all the trees and started clearing everything out; and then one snowy afternoon in january I watched from the window as they used a ginormous magnet to pull up all the old tracks.

This is all part of a project to extend one of the subway lines; there's also a bike-path extension going on which will run through the same space, so ultimately there will be new train tracks and new trees...

(better bigger on black)

so how do I get a "ginormous magnet " I could think of a load of great uses... this looks pretty desolate..

That is an excellent question. Also, you'll probably need a crane...

During the week, it's an active construction site; this was late saturday afternoon, so I was the only one there (I may have climbed through a hole in the fence (under the moose stairs))...

oh well go back and snitch that moose sign... if there was a hole in the fence then it was meant to be really!

Perfect for blackandwhite. It looks really desolate and I wonder what will be done with all that space now.

Yet another thing left behind. :D I'm not actually sure where the rest of that truck was; there was a bunch of construction equipment parked back in the other direction (you can see a crane in the third note), but nothing that looked like it was missing a one of those... :)

A beautifully composed and processed shot, which works really well in mono ... as others have said it has a post apocalyptic feel to it. Love the ones in the notes too! :)

great piece of urban decay you caught here, looks wonderful with the overbearing sky and dark tones

Thanks! :) (In real life, it's actually more about urban renewal than decay: the old factory building turned into artist studios, decades of weeds and trash cleared away and old tracks pulled up, to eventually be replaced by a new subway line, with a planned station at the end of the street bringing new businesses to the neighborhood... But it looks so much more post-apocalyptic in contrasty b&w. :D )
