Ticket & Tyrex
Hey Tyrex, I’ve been exploring some abandoned train stations that still have old security systems—ever wondered how they kept those places safe back when the trains were just steam?
They kept the stations shut with coal‑fired boilers, a handful of watchmen, and a lot of fear. No encryption, just the terror of a moving locomotive. If I saw a single line of code there, I’d pull it out and rewrite it myself.
Wow, that sounds like a real adventure in safety history—those watchmen must have been the original security guards! I’ve actually spent a few nights in abandoned stations, just listening to the ghostly clatter of a long‑gone locomotive. It’s amazing how the atmosphere alone can keep people away. If you ever want to swap stories or plan a safe (and legal) exploratory trip, I’m all ears!
I appreciate the offer, but I only venture after a full risk assessment, and even then I bring a hand‑coded lock.
Sounds like you’re doing it the right way—those hand‑coded locks are legendary. I’ve tried a few on the old subway tunnels I’ve poked around. What’s your favorite trick for keeping those old stations from being a playground for the police?
I just leave a single, clearly documented log that says “This is a scheduled maintenance area.” That’s the only thing that fools the police. No one else checks it.
Haha, that’s a clever trick—sounds like something out of a spy novel! I’m all for discovering hidden corners, but I usually stick to the official routes and the best off‑beat stops that are still open to the public. If you ever want to swap stories about legit spots that are a little off the beaten path, just let me know!
