These look like a way of the trolley's overhead electrical contro arml being able to make the smooth curve without pulling on or losing connection with overhead wires that were more commonly used for trolley service.

GREAT shot

The perspective on this shot is awesome. I love how you lined it up. This really needs to be an example for people learning how to photograph - the lines are dead on and the perspective is out of this world!

I myself love the subway system here in Rochester. I run an urban exploration group at RIT and we are actively trying to find a way to preserve this wonderful place.

Hopefully they will save at least part of the subway tunnel. Problem is, the city has so many problems and is throwing so much money away on that stupid fast ferry - filling in the subway tunnels is just another way of throwing yet more money away. Bah! Do not move to Rochester NY. Life is NOT worth living here!

I have to say you are the king of perspective. Your shots are close to perfect. You have a knack for getting in the right place to line things up to make a spectacular story out of a single shot. If I had a hat I would take it off to you. :-)

I've wanted to go here for about five years now. It sucks because I was at the Rochester Baseball stadium to see the Grateful Dead in '88, and I had no idea it existed then.
I was researching abandoned shit and this was the site that was the most captivating. The pics I saw at the time also included a daring catwalk over water that looked dangerous as fuck.

OK, this is some sort of science fiction scene - "destruction of the galaxy" or something.
