I bet that smells righteous.

[–]smackisbad 241 points242 points ago

well... on the bright side of things, at least the subway is getting a much-needed cleaning.

[–]LemonDifficult 67 points68 points ago

Homeless people troll about in the tunnels, right? There are designated shelters for emergencies that the homeless can hole up in, aren't there?

I really hope so.

[–]leonsecure 62 points63 points ago

I rather hope they searched the system and evacuated everyone. They should know most hiding points.

[–]minnick27 75 points76 points ago

From what I have heard it is so extensive down there it would take forever to search down there. Plus there are no complete maps of the system

[–]rdm_box 29 points30 points ago

Well now's their opportunity! Put a load of floating GPS trackers in and see where they float to!

Apart from the solid earth blocking the signal, it's a great idea!

[–]Probydoby 23 points24 points ago

That's a retarded idea. Just leave it as it is and let people buy tickets to row canoes from one station to the other.

Also, some people should do some urban exploring.

[–]RaveRaptor 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, but then people will get hit by the 10:15 Boat Way Ship. The captain is very punctual on his time.

We should send the entire NYPD in there to map it, but tell everyone its a "training exercise". What could possibly go wrong.

    "tunnel douche" should be a professional title.

      Yea, but they're subway tunnels, not the catacombs of Paris, it's just mind boggling that that level of ignorance about the infrastructure would exist. If you can't map out the entire system, how the hell could it be maintained or even inspected. How do we know these 100 year old tunnels aren't on the verge of collapsing? Obviously now is much too late to consider this, but what about over the last 20 years? I'm aware that the system was built over a hundred or so years by multiple contractors and there is a level of overlap between the conjoined systems, but shuttering them and ignoring them is not a responsible means of action.

      [–]UrbtoOSU 27 points28 points ago

      For the most part it's useless knowledge and mapping it all out would cost money that would be better spent elsewhere. There really isn't much point.

      If you can't map out the entire system, how the hell could it be maintained or even inspected.

      They don't maintain or inspect it. The tunnels that aren't fully mapped out are largely completely abandoned and haven't been used for decades upon decades. The tunnels that are in use are certainly well known, but there's no use in worrying about the ones that aren't used.

      [–]Cheese_Bits 0 points1 point ago

      Just because they're unused doesn't mean they dont fall into disrepair and became a dangerous situation for the people above ground.

      [–]UrbtoOSU 18 points19 points ago

      They don't become dangerous situations for people above ground. I honestly doubt you can find one news story of an abandoned, unused and uncharted NYC tunnel actually randomly collapsing and causing harm to someone on the surface.

      [–]NRGT 11 points12 points ago

      Its just lizard people and ancient beings from the depths of the earth in there anyway, nothing important.

          [–]Wurm42 21 points22 points ago

          Manhattan is a maze of tunnels for 8-10 stories below ground. Different subway lines were dug at different times by a host of companies, to say nothing of the various utility tunnels for steam pipes, electrical wiring, etc.

          The sandhogs know where all the important stuff is, but it's kind of frightening how much vital infrastructure is hidden down there without real maps or institutional knowledge.

          [–]suchanoob 3 points4 points ago

          huh, i never knew movie scenes with people living unknown and unseen in underground new york were realistic.

          [–]Wurm42 1 point2 points ago

          Well, there aren't actual tribes of morlocks running around in the tunnels, but there are homeless people living there and other shady stuff going on.

          [–]DrSmoke 14 points15 points ago

          There's a documentry about this. As many as hundreds of people or more live in the sewers, and old train tunnels under places like London, New York, and Vegas.

          [–]SociallyAwkwardBees 19 points20 points ago

          What's living under the city is not human, it's C.H.U.D.

          Jokes aside, Dark Days may be the documentary you're thinking of. It's a fascinating look into New York's underground homeless community, worth watching if your curious about this topic. It was available on Netflix streaming, last I checked.

          Actually, Dark Days may not be what you're talking about, as it's set entirely in NY. If that's not it, please post the name if you can recall, I'm curious.

          [–]wambotron 1 point2 points ago

          Forget Dark Days, I recommend C.H.U.D! That movie is amazing.

          [–]louky 6 points7 points ago

          "Dark Days" is a documentary about homeless people in nyc tunnels, but in the 80s the kicked them all out, I am sure some still live there but not nearly as much.

          [–]halfwaytothebeach 0 points1 point ago

          they dont (the dark days spot anyways), its just a big tunnel thing with nobody in it. and trains come by real fast.

          source: been there.

          [–]aintnopreacher 3 points4 points ago

          Living at the Edge of the World: A Teenager's Survival in the Tunnels of Grand Central Station painted a pretty good picture of life underground for at least some of these folks.

          [–]painfullyalone 4 points5 points ago

          Vegas doesn't have a metro, does it?

          [–]Contranine 9 points10 points ago

          No, but it has a drainage and a flood management system.

          [–]emericle 8 points9 points ago

          no, but we've built an extensive drainage system. since there isnt a lot of rain here it's inviting for homeless to find refuge there. When it does rain heavily (as it did several times this summer), it's not unheard of for bodies to turn up.

          [–]painfullyalone 2 points3 points ago

          Oh, crazy. I didn't know that.

          [–]Randominterloper 0 points1 point ago

          Always did make me wonder how many bodies have slowly washed to the mouth of these tunnels over the years. Seen quite a few people scramble out of the ones by Paradise and Harmon when the rain kicks up and deposits it's load.

          [–]jobrody 2 points3 points ago

          You'd be amazed at how clueless municipal governments are. I spent an internship trying to map the sewer and drainage system in Poughkeepsie. The government just didn't know where the pipes were.

          Edit: spelling

          [–]Drag0nflamezFar away from the storm 4 points5 points ago

          So these aren't quite complete?

          [–]minnick27 7 points8 points ago

          From what I have heard its not. Also keep in mind tunnels for utilities and other stuff

          [–]natenash 0 points1 point ago

          There should be a google earth layer to show the immediate subsurface/main passages. There should also be an additional google earth layer that shows the 3d infrastructure of the underground area similar to the "3d buildings" layer.

            [–]unusedalias 6 points7 points ago

            As someone who has been through many hurricanes, that water moves super fast. Even if there is shelter, it's highly likely that they were unable to find it. Also, include the confusion that comes with panic and you have a really shitty situation in those tunnels.

            [–]ridik_ulass 0 points1 point ago

                Thousands of sensors, latches, switching mechanisms, lights and other electrical and mechanical goodies will suffer damage. Rusty tracks is not the biggest problem...

                [–]made_account_to_say 0 points1 point ago

                Using the parable of the broken window to make a point against calling this a Hurricane Stimulus doesn't really work. The ends of the two are different, where the Parable cares about opportunity cost, dollars saved don't help the short term overall economic situation.

                Both schools of thought are correct within their own confines, but whether or not $1 spent now or later has the best long term effects is a function of multiple factors, most importantly the current state of the economy, and its future health with and without intimidate stimulus.

                They shut off power to avoid much if that. Actually I read someone complaining that it was unnecessary. Hopefully it avoided lots of damage that way.

                [–]fresh_herbal_extract 19 points20 points ago

                seawater on non water-proof copper wiring/circuits and sensors is bad freakin' news without getting rinsed off before drying even with the power off.

                When it does drain away and dries up, that's when teh corrosion will cause havoc very quickly...and a lot of overtime.

                [–]vagijn 6 points7 points ago

                Rust will be a minor concern. Water and electricity don't go together well, or actually, they mix very good. Damage to electrical installations could be the biggest problem once the water is gone. Not only in the subway for that matter.

                [–]Kuxir 5 points6 points ago

                im guessing they cut off the power on the subway though..?

                    Looks like sewage. That will take a long time to clean up.

                    Not sewage, just trash that's thrown onto the tracks.

                    [–]angryPenguinator 13 points14 points ago

                    And pee. Don't forget the pee.

                    [–]SensibleMadness 2 points3 points ago

                    The pee was already there, the depth has just increased slightly.

                    [–]Kevinsense 1 point2 points ago

                    Really? My guess is that the trash we're seeing is from more places than just the rails, the water carried a lot of it down there in addition to the garbage that was on the tracks.

                    [–]lilleulv 8 points9 points ago

                    And saltwater. That will take a long to clean up.

                    [–]hypnoguy1 18 points19 points ago

                    I wonder what the long term damage the salt water will do to the electronics and tracks.

                      Can someone from NYC explain the meaning of the sign in the photo? I have to board certain cars of the train to get to 145 street? Don't really understand how that would work. Sorry, I'm really curious, I'm from SF and our rapid transit system (BART) is quite simple. At least, the whole train generally goes to the same destination...

                      [–]steerio 39 points40 points ago

                      145 St station has a very short platform that can only accommodate for five cars (instead of the full length of ten cars), so the train only opens the front five of them. The sign advises you to use one of these if your destination is there.

                      [–]tulpan 8 points9 points ago

                      it surely does arrive, but due to shorter platform only 5 cars doors will be opened. That's my thought.

                      [–]AStabToTheEye 7 points8 points ago

                      That's how it works. They start announcing it at 116th street, five stops before the station you are looking at. You basically need to move up to the first five cars of the train if you want to get off at 145th. You have a couple opportunities to change cars while the train is stopped if you move quickly, which is preferable to moving through them when the train is moving.

                      If you don't move up, you arrive at 145th, but your train door don't open and you end up at the last stop, 148th.

                      [–]ZippyDan 4 points5 points ago

                      I think that station is quite small, and the platform only accommodates 5 cars

                      [–]agnosticnixie 0 points1 point ago

                      There's three lines on that particular train (1-2-3) and not every station accomodates all three at all times, with some of them not having full size platforms.

                      [–]lurw 1 point2 points ago

                      Fun fact: In Switzerland, there are trains which will split at some given station and continue to run as individual trains, for example in front of two valleys, where one half will continue in the "left" valley, and the other in the "right" one. If you don't read the signs properly at one of the stations before, it's entirely possible you end up pretty far from your planned destination.

                      Question: Are the subway cars parked somewhere safe? If not? Will this much flooding wreck them beyond repair?

                      [–]vagijn 12 points13 points ago

                      I imagine they are somewhere on higher ground. And yes, putting a subway car in enough water to flood the engines does kill it. - But I imagine the cars will not be the biggest problem after the storm...

                      [–]REDDIT- 0 points1 point ago

                      Flood the engines? Isn't the NYC subway like all other light rail trains in that it's powered electrically by the third rail?

                      [–]Wilcows 10 points11 points ago

                      Oh, so because it runs on electricity it doesn't need an engine right? You just put a current on it and it'll run itself... right??

                      [–]SaneBrained 32 points33 points ago

                      Engine is commonly used to describe fuel burning engines. Motor is commonly used to describe electric motors. Motor and Engine are, however, synonyms.

                      [–]REDDIT- 4 points5 points ago

                      It's semantics, I guess. I think of the internal combustion engine when I see the word "engine".

                      [–]Kevinsense 1 point2 points ago

                      Wow I never thought I'd get the opportunity to talk to the actual Reddit! I have a question for you, REDDIT- Has this ever happened before, flooding of the subway? I should think that this can't be the first time it has happened.

                      [–]i_can_see_yo_brainz 0 points1 point ago

                      His point was that they have motors and not engines. Electric motors will have different problems from internal combustion engines when they are flooded. I am not an expert on this, but I suspect that electric motors fare better when they get wet (when off) and then dry. IC engines will have problems with rust in parts of the engine that are impossible to get to without total dissasembly.

                      [–]MaliciousH 3 points4 points ago

                      Some might be in the subway lot out in Brooklyn/Queens. Then again, not sure how that lot is doing since its so close to the water. I'm sure that there are some other yards they use.

                      [–]silent_but_dirty 3 points4 points ago

                      If I remember correctly from Irene, they don't have room at the lots for all of them, so some are parked at stations. I assume underground stations in outer boroughs, far from the rivers.

                      [–]themonkeyaintnodope 0 points1 point ago

                      All of the 3 train equipment got moved to the express tracks under Broadway. Lenox Yard is particularly prone to flooding (see the left edge of the photo), which is why this was closed down even earlier than the other subway lines.

                      [–]upturn 1 point2 points ago

                      New York City has about two dozen rail yards that serve its subway. Some of them are below ground. There's a Reuters article being published in various papers that mentions some of the rail yards were flooded, but doesn't mention any damage to rolling stock. We'll have to wait and see.

                      [–]majortom1981 1 point2 points ago

                      The news stated they are parked at a lot of the yards. Well that's what the head mta guy stated.

                      [–]NyNYC83 20 points21 points ago

                      That station always floods, and there's usually a fire caused by trash once every 3-4 years.

                        That's actually kind of cool. But when the water level drops and the trash will either float away or hit the tracks and cement. Going to be one hell of a clean up.
