Urban explorers have never been left indifferent by abandoned equipment. Especially large aircraft, like this IL-76TD. It was produced at the end of 1982 for military needs and under a different modification (IL-76MD), which stood for modified long-range. The main differences from the previous version were an increase in the carrying capacity up to 48 tons, an increase in the maximum takeoff weight up to 190 tons and an increase in flight range with a load of 40 tons up to 4,200 km.
Until the second half of the 90s, the aircraft was part of the Ukrainian Air Force. Later it was converted into a civilian version – Il-76TD (long-range transport). The military equipment was dismantled along with the aft firing system, and the aircraft itself went to Russia, where it flew before 2003. After it was left in storage, which ended in its destruction.

Li Yang was born in 404. It is the name of his hometown in the deep Gobi desert in western China, where China started making its first nuclear bomb in the late 1950s. The city was built in 1958; it occupied an area of 4 km2 and included a factory, police station, school, and a residential area. In the 1990s, it was China’s largest nuclear base, and there were almost 100,000 people who lived there.

Due to large-scale cave-ins, most people living in 404 were relocated to Jiayuguan in 2006. Now, only some 1,000 residents remain. Countless identical housing blocks stand empty, their doors sealed shut with walls of brick.

When Li Yang went back to 404, now almost a deserted city, to take photos in September 2014, he found a plutonium manual outside of the public bathing room’s gate. The handbook was universal in 404 residents’ homes. Despite its small size, the city had similar facilities to other large cities in China. This was because 404 was designated a “closed city,” meaning there were residential and travel restrictions in place.

The Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital was an abandoned site, often visited by urbex and ghost hunters. But for over years, it was a state-run institution for the mentally disabled. Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital opened its doors in 1931 and remained active for nearly 70 years by the State of New Jersey. Between its cottages and building, it accommodated about 800 patients of all ages. By 1978, the hospital only treated adults and adolescents. Many patients died while at the hospital, prompting the designation of a cemetery on campus grounds for bodies that went unclaimed by family; 924 marked graves are still open for visitation from the public. The Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital was demolished and all demolition officially completed in early 2015.

Built in 1917, this is the only remaining McMyler Coal Dumper left in the New York area. This one is in Port Reading NJ on the Arthur Kill. In a vast regional network of coal mines, breakers, railroads, and manufacturing hubs, these machines provided a vital link that helped fuel New York’s industrial age, transferring massive amounts of coal brought by rail from Pennsylvania and the Alleghenies into ships entering the harbor. A McMyler Dumper could unload a 72-ton car of coal every two and a half minutes, operating on a continuous loop for maximum efficiency.

McMyler Coal Dumper storied efficiency came to an abrupt halt in 1951, when a pier fire sent the machine crashing into the water. The largest components of the dumper were salvaged, and the rest was rebuilt using parts from comparable unloader purchased from another facility. Within four months, Big Mac was back to work. Reading Railroad was absorbed by Conrail in 1976, but Big Mac was still in service, unloading coal for the few power plants that still used this fuel. It was finally shuttered in 1983, and hasn’t moved since. The wooden kickback trestle that extends into the harbor has deteriorated greatly over the years. In 2011, the pan and chute have actually fallen off the tower, most likely due to the stress induced by the high winds of Hurricane Irene.

The rusted McMyler Coal Dumper remains anchored in place, though marred with graffiti and inhabited by a colony of aggressive Canada Geese. Though scrappers and vandals have made off with much of the equipment left inside the facility, a few larger items – including a pair of steam engines – are still visible inside one of the most interesting abandoned places in New Jersey. We prepared stunning photos of abandoned Port Reading’s McMyler Coal Dumper.

There have been several state mental institutions in New Jersey that have closed their doors over the years, each with a chilling backstory. Horrendous things happened at these institutions, among others in New Jersey, but they are no more. Only a few asylums still remain, and one of the most terrifying is still in use. Trenton Psychiatric Hospital is a mental hospital run by the state of New Jersey and located in Trenton. It is not entirely abandoned as it still houses a 400-bed psychiatric hospital serving a designated New Jersey population.

The New Jersey Lunatic Asylum (later renamed the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital) was founded on May 15, 1848. It’s completion marked the opening of the first mental hospital in the entire state, and the very first asylum ever constructed around the Kirkbride plan. However, the original facility quickly filled up again, and several more additions were completed. The facility’s transformation also included a name change to “New Jersey State Hospital” in 1893.

The facility was founded by Dorothea Dix, an activist and advocate for the mentally ill. While the aim was to help care for and rehabilitate patients with psychiatric issues, the asylum took a dark turn after Dr. Henry Cotton took control of the facility in 1907. Cotton was a firm believer that the onset and persistence of mental illness in a person stemmed from infections within one’s body. In order to preserve and restore the troubled minds of the patients under his care, the doctor and his staff took to removing the patient’s teeth. It was Cotton’s belief that the teeth were the most likely location in a patient’s body to house infections. However, if symptoms persisted after teeth removal, additional body parts were systematically removed. The next most common organs to be removed if tooth extractions failed were the tonsils and sinus. From there the patient could loose a number of internal organs, including but not limited to the colon, cervix, ovaries, gall badder, stomach, spleen, and testicles. Based solely upon his own research and experimentation, Cotton publicly reported a wonderful success rate for his patients.

Though Dr. Cotton died in 1933, several of his unethical and inhumane practices remained standard at the facility until the 1960s. By 1954 there were 4,237 people at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital but with the increasing use of medication for mental illness, that number began to drop and wards were closed. The elegant Kirkbride style administration building was demolished in 1971 and replaced with a more traditional hospital structure, and the name was again changed to Trenton Psychiatric Hospital. As patient numbers decreased over time, more and more of the buildings in the complex were closed off and left abandoned. The New Jersey state still operates a 400-bed psychiatric hospital on the site, many of the older buildings stand empty and neglected. Though the abandoned portions of the facility are not open to the public, these photos will take you through the asylum.

Grey Rocks ski resort was Quebec’s first ski hill and was once the ski capital of the Laurentian Mountains. Gray Rocks was founded in 1905 by George Wheeler, an American from New Hampshire who arrived in the region in 1894 as a lumberjack.
The Gray Rocks hotel remained in the family for over three generations. George Wheeler’s granddaughter Lucille won the first Canadian Olympic medal in alpine skiing (bronze) in 1956 at Cortina d’Ampezzo in Italy. Funny fact, Montreal almost obtained the 1956 Winter Game as it came second to Italy. It was at Gray Rocks that Lucille Weeler used her first skis.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, Gray Rocks was known as the dean of the Laurentian resorts. Many American families came for golf, tennis and swimming in the summer, and ski packages in the winter. Even if Philip Robinson, one of the former owners, was aware that the hotel needed renovations, the final uppercut came from New York. In the late 1980s, he had already lost over a million dollars and a half annually with the ski center. Gray Rocks ski resort and hotel closed its doors in 2009 after more than a century of operation.
70% of the Gray Rocks main building was destroyed by a suspicious fire on the evening of 25 November 2014.

In response to overcrowding in the hospitals at St. Peter and Rochester, the 1885 state legislature commissioned the Third Minnesota State Hospital. When the Fergus Falls State Hospital opened its doors on July 29, 1890, it became the first state institution in northern Minnesota for patients considered insane. The hospital had a sprawling campus and large stately buildings, built according to the influential asylum plan developed by Philadelphia physician Thomas Kirkbride in the 1850s.

When the hospital opened its doors, it received two men from the Judge Probate of Otter Tail County. The next day, it received 80 more patients from the St. Peter hospital. The first patients were all men, and most of them were farmers or laborers. Women were not admitted to the institution until 1893, when 125 women were transferred from St. Peter. As the institution grew, so did the town. The population in Fergus Falls more than doubled between 1890 and 1930.

Like most mental health facilities of the time, however, Fergus Falls State Hospital was unable to effectively meet the variety of needs of the residents which included addiction, mental illness, and even simply poverty. Following World War II, improvements to mental health treatments and outpatient therapy greatly reduced the need for large facilities like this Kirkbride.

The hospital was repurposed in 1971 to welcome different categories of patients, such as drug addicts, behavior disorders, brain injury and so on. It was renamed as the Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center in 1985. By the mid-1980s, administrators were consistently lowering the population at the hospital by transferring patients to smaller facilities and community group homes. The Fergus Falls State Hospital closed in 2005. The building is one of the only intact Kirkbride buildings in the United States and, unfortunately, remains vacant.

One of the most fascinating buildings of the Industrial Revolution is the Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The company’s history traces to 1857, when a group of railroaders and investors of the city of Bethlehem, Pa., founded the Saucona Iron Company, which four years later was renamed Bethlehem Iron Company. The first blast furnace was put into operation in 1863, and the second in 1867. Rails for the booming railroad industry were produced, and when a government contract for steel armored plate was awarded to Bethlehem in 1887.
In 1907, Bethlehem Steel was once again on the forefront of manufacturing by being the first to adopt Henry Grey’s mill rolling process. This process assisted the plant in producing H-section steel beams that were lighter, wider and cheaper than traditional beams. These revolutionary beams allowed for taller skyscrapers and longer bridges to be built. By 1913, Bethlehem Steel made it possible to build high rise buildings, now a staple of many city skylines.The Great Depression of the early 1930s wreaked havoc on some of the nation’s largest financial institutions. But Bethlehem Steel survived and flourished.
By the 1970s, it was cheaper to import steel from other countries than it was to produce in the United States. Bethlehem Steel reported a loss of $1.5 billion in 1982, and began shutting down chunks of its massive operations throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Bethlehem Steel was forced to cease production on November 18, 1995.
On November 9, 2016, a warehouse being used as a recycling facility that was part of the Bethlehem Steel complex in Lackawanna, New York caught fire and burned down On May 19, 2019, Martin Tower, Bethlehem Steel’s former corporate headquarters building in West Bethlehem, was demolished.

A small family oriented place, Fun Park Fyn was opened sometime during the 1980’s. Fun Park Fyn, formerly called Fyns Sommerland, is an abandoned amusement park eight kilometers north of Aarup on Fyn. Water slides and radio cars have been among the rides. The abandoned site is popular with photographers and for urbex, but has also attracted vandals and thieves.water slides and cycle paths as well as small rides like a motorized carousels. Designed for family fun, it was a popular place with affordable prices. In 2006, Fun Park Fyn closed from the owner going bankrupt. Now those same swan pedalos sit abandoned on the river. The slides are overgrown with leaves and branches.
There were rumours in 2013 that the park was going to re-open with a Hans Christian Anderson theme but these were just rumours and the park remains abandoned. The Funen investor Leif Bork Christiansen was the owner behind, but both himself personally and his investment company went bankrupt in the wake of Roskilde Bank’s crash. The private limited company behind the amusement park was dissolved in 2016 after voluntary liquidation.

Tower construction began in 1941 and ended in 1945. It is a winding tower, thus had a 1,000-horse power winch to hoist up and down a carriage apparatus. The Shime Coal Mine Tower was registered as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in December 8th, 2009. There are only 3 Coal Mine Tower of this type left in the world today, with the other two being in China and Belgium. It’s certainly one of the more striking urbex exploration you’re likely to come across anywhere.

Between Patagonia and the Mexican border several boomtowns flourished in the late 1800s. A 23-mile drive south on Harshaw Road and Duquesne Road traverses the Harshaw Mining District and the Patagonia Mining District in which remains of these short-lived towns are located. Around 80% of Harshaw was abandoned by the end of 1882. In 1887, for the price of $600, James Finley purchased the abandoned mine. This was a sort of resurrection for the almost abandoned town.
Today, there are just a few remnants left of this old community, including the James Finley home, a tin-roofed adobe residence that is still occupied, a crumbling home, and the cemetery.

Waverly Hills Tuberculosis Hospital is an abandoned tuberculosis hospital that operated between 1910 and 1961 in Louisville, Kentucky. It reopened as the Woodhaven Geriatrics Center between 1963 and 1981. This former tuberculosis hospital has been called one of the most terrifying, most haunted, places in America.
The massive Gothic architecture housed TB patients suffering from the “White Plague” with no antibiotic cure on the horizon. At least 6,000 people died there, many taken out through a ‘death chute’ tunnel, and Waverly Hills reached urban legend ghost status.
