Posted August 24, 200123 yr http://www.berlingske.dk/grafik/redaktion/3B8521EA:000015F0:7E-large-1.jpg'> This photo I found in an daily paper over here in Europe. Under the photo its mentioned that old NYC subwaycars are being dumped in the Atlantic Ocean outside Delaware. 27 cars are being dumped at 25 meters depth to create an artificail reef... Cant they find anything better to do with them???
August 24, 200123 yr NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO!!!!
August 24, 200123 yr that's it...! I'm strapping on the scuba gear. There must be some kind of underwater marking paint.
August 24, 200123 yr just like my topic over in channel zero said would happen... with all two replies it got...
August 24, 200123 yr how dope wold it be to piece those, then in 20-30 years get your shit on the discovery channel or national geographic when they do a story on the new reef. ------------------ Xasp.ta.mmwX
August 24, 200123 yr that's funny.. wierd that jersey turned those down... asbestos i hear?? anyway, quite interesting.
August 24, 200123 yr My local news did a quick story on it...they threw in some comment like "there's standing room only down there, and the fish don't know how to paint graffiti on the trains" I was like WTF?!

August 24, 200123 yr Shits Cruel..... ------------------ WHAT YOU SAY IS USUALLY FALSE BUT WHAT YOU DO IS REALITY!!!!!!!!!!
August 24, 200123 yr they should have donated them to the Phun Phactory or something...at least people could still paint them...i dont like the idea of dumping them into the ocean...i would love one for my back yard
August 24, 200123 yr I saw that on the news the other night too it sucks but what can you do. Its kind of nice to know that us americans can not only destroy our land with garbage now we're stepping up to the challange of doing it in the ocean now too.
August 24, 200123 yr I'm suprised the MTA didnt strip and sell the nameplates off of them...thats the kind of shit railfans go nuts for, the could have made a nice chunk of money. http://www.subwaywebnews.com/images/halfredbird.jpg'> nearing the end.... http://www.nycsubway.org/slides/redscrap/redscrap01.jpg'> stripped and ready for the barge.... http://www.nycsubway.org/slides/redscrap/redscrap04.jpg'> hopefully they left this on, and at least one car will go to its watery grave baring graffiti...
August 25, 200123 yr it also made the cover of the times. saw action footage on the news on cnn local stations in both america and canada. also. theres an article about the original proposition in an issue of metropolis from about 1 or 2 years ago. yeah sad. but then theres lucky people who own their own cars. and let me tell you.. im fucking jealous.
August 26, 200123 yr i wonder if theyd give a shit about you painting in that yard before theyg et on the barge? probablly just enough to be a dickhead. sucks to see tho. My mom wants to buy one and put it beside the house for an office. she said i could paint on the back.
August 26, 200123 yr sad to see but i like this post.. ------------------ ivo akmob!! we be da infamous... http://www.yourphotos.com/users/2819/ivo-pkham2solo.JPG'>
August 26, 200123 yr apparently there was a problem with asbestos insulation in these old trains .. hence the reason they were left in the scrap yards for so long. i dont know if any of you have ever see fotos of the scrap yards with trains wrapped and sealed...well.. thats due to asbestos.. or at least thats what a worker told me.. maybe to scare me off. anyone confirm.? i heard that was one of the reasons it took so long to ok this artifical reef idea. i bet one of the VS guys who checks the site could give us insight.
August 27, 200123 yr yeah bob thats the same thing i heard, except i heard it on the news (+validity?? whatever). some mta dude was talking about it a few months ago when jersey was going to take them but backed out. scuba gear + krink = ??
