The corner of Alderton Street and 64th Road
in what locals refer to as The Crescents, a Rego Park enclave
of alphabetized streets looping around in a semi circle bordered
by Alderton, Woodhaven Boulevard, Fleet Street and 63rd Drive.
Peeking out just above the dense forest in the background is
the tip of one of the Dead Track's silent, brooding sentinels;
the rusting high tension wire masts. The Dead Tracks are easily
accessible here, as they are at a number of dead ended streets
all the way down to Ozone Park. You just have to descend the
long hill carefully, and do not mistake my words for encouragement.
The legal right to be down there may be a vague, gray area, and
as in any abandoned facility, there is danger to those who tread
carelessly. |
