Despite wandering around City College campus a fair bit ion search of steam tunnels I did not find this drain until recently. I always presumed there had to be one there, I had found small drains on campus. The land also sloped down on one side of the campus into a small valley, a sure sign of a drain. However, I had never found a big drain.
One day a friend pointed out that there was a "big pipe sticking out of the ground near the sports equipment by the lake." I went down to take a look, and sure enough it was a drain. It took me a while to find the entrance, but once there I was in like Flynn. The drain is a conventional RCP, somewhat boring. It was occupised by a friendly rat that convienetly stayed still just long enough to be photographed. The drain has a low section before it reaches the overflow room. Altogether it is a pretty plain drain apart from the overflow room, and a very odd barrier across the drain upstream of that.
The downstream entrance is in the industrial heartland
A friendly rat kept me company
Hatchway to the heavans
More of the hatch
A bizare metal bar blocks off most of the drain.
Beyond it the drain continues on, I was surprised someone had explored it before
Ahh, the exit
Leaving the drain
Hatch is sealed

Much graffiti adorsn the drain at the bottom of this pipe. It mentions the City College steam tunnels.
