The long, dark night of crack cocaine had descended on the city, and it seemed as though Philadelphia might never wake up. It did, of course, (at least partially–we’re up to 324 murders in 2012 with 14 days to go), but the subway station has remained closed. The platform can still be seen, albeit dimly, from the train en route between the Chinatown and Fairmount stations. Christian Suchecki made a number of trips into the tunnels over the past year to photograph the derelict station using a large format camera and long exposures, and returned with these images.
