THE FREEDOM TUNNEL
Posted by Mike Rigby
Some beautiful photography from Carlito Brigante of the Freedom tunnel. Built under Manhattan’s Upper West side in the 30′s and used for only a few years before being discontinued. It became a haven for street people and graffiti artists.
…the tunnel turned into a veritable underground metropolis where thousands of homeless were living in organized communities underneath the city’s skin. The tunnel also became a prime spot for graffiti artists. Immense murals appeared utilizing the unique lighting provided by the ventilation ducts, turning the tunnel into an extraordinary underground art gallery.
In 1991, Amtrak decided to reopen the tunnel. The shanty towns were cleared out by the police and homeless were evicted. Although deserted, the tunnel is now an active train line and a stunning experience for urban explorers.
Read the full story and see the rest of the images on Carlitto’s flickr page.
