How long is said tunnel? What does it connect? Obviously unused rail line. Very cool. Nice work with the camera.

One of the rare occassions where Will and myself had the rare day off and he didn't have to babysit for his fiance... he took the pics. the guys is pretty good.
This was never used. Delaware and Hudson blasted it out of the cliffside. This section is maybe 75 to 100 yards long. It breaks into an open chamber for maybe 30 feet and then enters another tunnel that is only 60-70 feet long. The second section is done in brick and really looks the part.

These were quickies... but the opening pic really was the money shot... it was absolutely beautiful.

The opening shot is Definitely the key shot. The lit (entrance or exit) adds to it. Is this chamber just blasted or is there anything of interest?

that is the south end of the tunnel, right before it goes into the chamber. We ran out of pic space on Wills camera with this picture. The tunnel in of itself really isn't that exciting. The downside about going from tunnel to tunnel two is that there used to be a big nasty pile of debris and garbage between the two. Now it looks as though most of it has been cleaned out. May have to do a return tomorrow (When i am wearing boots...) when I get the Cheever Dock pics.

I still have that HP cam if you want it. It's max on the 4 meg card is like 32 pics at 640 by 480. At 1.3 megpixel, you'll get about 6 on that card. Send me some videos, I'll send the camera. Just kidding. I would send the videos back.
It's still a USB connnection.
The camera is rather slow in between shots. and you'd Probably want a bigger CF card. My new Fuji has a new 128 meg xd card. I can take almost 200 pics at 2 megapixel, about 800 k a piece. I got that at walmart for 60 bucks. It was worth it. We should go to the mine this spring. I'm thinking camping near the pit would be a surreal experience.

definitely... i pm'd my number. I'd have to know at least a week in advance to get a weekend off from my job. During the summer, this tunnel reverts to a party spot for the local riff-raff (myself one of them a long time ago).

The mine at night is very very quiet. I have been out there at 2am before... it's hard to describe just how quiet it really is.
As for the video, i can make a copy of that and some other stuff I have here... give me a couple of days to get it together.

Will do. Apparently I led Drie astray. They tripped an alarm in the Adler. Whoops. I could have told them the place would be tight. W'ell give you a ring Scott , especially if the cam is useful.
