Many years ago the city of Rochester, NY used to have a subway. It stopped being used in 1956, but has been used since by the homeless, paint ball players, geocachers, and those out for an adventure into our city's history.

Technically it is illegal to enter the subway, but I have never heard of anybody getting in trouble doing so.

You may also visit the geocache in the tunnel.
