Abandoned New Haven Railroad tunnel, Providence

Recorded by Erik Gould. This tunnel was constructed in 1908 and was abandoned in the early 1980s. Since then it has become more and more cavelike with deposits forming on the roof and ground and a distinct sulphur smell in the air. There is a lot of water there as well, dripping everywhere, with large standing pools in places and small slow moving streams along the old rail bed.
