UA City Subway
I recently visited part of older UA City to explore some of the rail tunnels dating back to the 1930s. Information I had indicated there were some old and unfinished rail tunnels under the city. Some lead down to a huge flooded tunnel, an underground lake. Others had been once used a tram tunnels. With me on this trip was the Red Hands, another group of explorers I have done a few expeditions with.
These old tunnels lead us to some live ones where trains run down all day and well into the night.
The Puppet Master admires a partly walled in alcove between tunnels.
Searching through the dust covered debris for old souvenirs, including ancient tram tickets.

Rc1 examines a notice which gives tunnel dimensions, height of track bed above tunnel floor and more.
I'm standing in another tunnel, note the automatic braking unit on the track beside me.
Looking at the signals and a close up of that automatic braking unit.
Big gap in the tunnel wall.
Yikes, is that a train coming?
Yikes, they don't leave much
space between the side of the train and side of the tunnel.
This image was taken using two separate flash units not quite at the same
time. Hence the strange double take of the train.
