Most of the time you don't see this. They seal off the fridge with cement because dead humans are considered toxic waste and a morgue fridge is a bio harzard area.

YAY! New pictures!!

Some parts of the building are sealed very well, which keeps out the dampness and weather that erodes the paint.

It looked like they were just placed together tightly. I'm not sure what the purpose of this room was.

The company who is using this building is not IH... I'm not sure if they would appreciate their name being on this site so I'll just leave it at that.

Now thats more like it!
loads going on..... love it!!!!!

Something thats not ment.... a real masterpiece. I do like things that are stairing you right in the face.
Truly a happy Snap!

The city has never been responsible for the terminal. It has always been in the hands of private owners. The first owner, New York Central Railroad, stopped maintaining the building decades ago, so things like the flat roofs were leaking as early as the late 60's. Subsequent owners were even less responsible, however well intended they may have been at first. It wasn't until the CTRC purchase the building in 1997, that true maintenance and preservation efforts began. Since then, the flat roofs and end caps have been fixed, 300 tons of debris has been removed and over 4,000 broken windows have been sealed. The building is dry and constantly stabliziing. Over $1 million has been invested to date, and the efforts continue.

Love, love, LOVE this shot!
Makes me imagine a "guest" of the facility from years ago, somehow making his way up to the roof in an attempt to escape. Only to be faced with this.
A panoramic vista of stunning beauty that offers so much freedom & so many possibilities, but is forever out of reach. Because from here, there's only down, not out...

The only thing I can think of is if they applied any kind of chemical to parts, they had to measure the amounts of certain chemicals and test reactions? Did they actually apply the finishing coat of paint to the vehicles here, because that could of been what some of this was for, testing paint colors. But anyways, I have no idea, just a guess. ; )

Tsk Tsk, David's a bit messy, ain't he? lol

Yeah, I'd love to know what that "bridge" is. Part of it looks like it could be for foot traffic, but that incline looks rather steep for a ramp...I don't see any steps. A conveyor would make sense but I don't see any mechanism or way for things to move along.

Excellent composition on this one. Mesmorizing.

And I want that car! (The actual driveable one that it). I just love old cars.

Fwee!!! Hop on and take a ride! That woulda been fun, I'd have been tempted to do it if it was running! ; )

Whoa, good observation there, Jude, I hadn't noticed the ladder before. Looks like most of the bottom rungs are missing.
