Was over at the hosital today with Barry and 2 other friends of mine and walked the ROW's. Thought i would post a few shots i snapped.

Last one. Notice anything? thats the ball field statium, the roof is built from 40lb rail. possibly from a trolley line.

I was also there today. Environmental remediation under SCDHS supervision. The power House still has asbestos. A lot of drywells to clean up. Months ago concrete supports for track for coal delivery to power house was removed.

Guys-As I live just a couple of miles away,I just missed out on the demolition of the smokestacks-finding out just hours after they came down-I would have gone out of my way to watch it. Is the powerhouse next to go?-or can it be used in some way? Good shots of the CISH ROW. Did you walk all the way from the current CI rail all the way down to the powerhouse? Interesting stuff!

i have walked the entire ROW. i got 35 photos but im waiting for my new URL for a abandoned lirr site im working on to post them all. The poerhouse will come to to eventually.

Powerhouse is definitely coming down. Not sure when. Just look for the big dust cloud. I don't know if I'll still be on site when this occurs. I'll try to find out.

The lioddities.com website has forums for all the LI hospitals. There's this link below for the CI hospital. See the thread "The Powerplant New Pictures" for great photos of the ongoing demolition.
