New York’s Fake Buildings - Secret Sub-Stations (the story behind them) IT’S HISTORY
Christopher Payne said it best in his book about New York Cities Sub-stations and fake buildings:
“All over New York City, hidden behind unassuming historic facades, sits the gigantic machinery of the power stations that once moved the subways. For over a century, the 125,000-pound converters and related equipment of the substations remained largely unchanged, but in 1999 the last manually operated substation was shut down and since then they have been systematically dismantled and sold as scrap”.
