Today’s OBT combines two of my great loves, New York City and exploring.
This story was so thrilling to me. I could totally see myself creeping around in there under cover of darkness.
Of course, the fact that the only approach is on foot for a mile and a half on very active train tracks gives me pause, but the rest sounds awesome! Bridge party! Who’s with me?

Hello, I was looking up Hells Gate Bridge and I found a post on vanshnookenraggen.com about it and then I saw your comment below with the link to this post. Do you know where the access point for the stairs to go up to the track level is?

I didn’t make the trip myself, but there’s a video on YouTube showing the way in.

I don’t. Sorry. I do know it’s on the Astoria side, but that’s all I know.
