How to Get to the Freedom Tunnel

Thứ bảy - 27/04/2024 00:20

Table of contents

Located in New York City, The Freedom Tunnel was once the home of anywhere between a few hundred or a few thousand homeless people living in makeshift houses. In the 90s, Amtrak forcibly removed them, and the Freedom Tunnel became a haven for graffiti artists. A few miles of history and art, the freedom tunnel is a must see for any urban exploration enthusiast. It's very easy to access, and you shouldn't need any equipment.

Simply hop this fence using one of the overpass pillars, and walk to Riverside Park.

Literature and Documentaries

Cinematographer Marc Singer made in the excellent movie 'Dark Days', anthropologist and journalist Teun Voeten wrote the very detailed 'Tunnel People', photographer Margaret Morton made the photo book 'The Tunnel'. All these productions focus on the Freedom Tunnel and the homeless people that where living there in the mid 90ies.

Warnings

The tracks are still in use, even if the tunnel isn't. Every hour or so a train will pass by. Face away from passing trains so as to not get dirt in your eyes.

This is considered trespassing - keep this in mind as it is actively patrolled by Amtrak Police.
