Train Tunnel Portals

Explorer_J · 16 Jul 2015, 2:03 pm

Does anyone know of any doors that you can open (portals) that lead down to train tunnels instead of entering through a jump spot. I only know of one portal at a park for the Redfern tunnel which has now been locked up.

hey, not sure personally but have a quick read through the countless other similar posts (along the lines, of, hey, where is ....) in this forum, so you can get an idea of what sort of comments you'll likely cop from everyone else!

Explorer_J · 16 Jul 2015, 2:56 pm

I'm not asking where they are I'm just wondering if there are any other ones that I could find myself! I know there is another one from Redfern to central that leads to the turnback

No+Pro · 16 Jul 2015, 4:09 pm

oh, ok then. well, still nope

I'm not too sure what you mean by "portals", portals are the openings to the tunnels themselves.
All the gates and doors leading to track level are almost always locked, and then ones that aren't are accessed by entering private property like train yards etc.
The tunnel that you say leads to the turnback is the 'Engine Dive', it's used to take trains and locomotives from the train presentation area on the south side of the rail lines to the mainline on the northern side, without interfering with train movements on the surface. You can see the smoke chimneys on platform 1 at Redfern and were the curve around to the south just beyond it.

I know that portals are the entrances to the tunnels themselves that trains go through but I use portal as another word for door that leads into the tunnels. I also know two other portals in the same carpark one leading to ********** and ******* double lane. I was just wondering because it makes things a lot easier when you want to do something. Ps. I have ways to get through locked doors including **** and ***********

I don't have ****** a clue ********what **** saying. Try PM*** Me *****.

UEGA This is ,INSTAGRAM this is not (yoda voice)
Try be abit more nice guys if i didn't have a great response from some fellow uegans when i first started out i probably wouldn't be on here now.
As For portals mhmm its a touchy subject most are locked some aren't depends who you know or what you know
Just to get this out there (randomly)
there are no sensors don't let anyone tell you there are sensors in Sydney THERE ARE NO SENSORS
take that from someone whose done almost all of city tunnels
instagramers think they own places and the most common way to put you off is to tell you that there are sensors
And please i would not advise you go into live train tunnels (although i contradict myself in saying so) they are dangerous and there could be a train at anytime if so please do take great care and most importantly be SAFE

Thank you for the kind response unlike some others. I have already been in quite a few live train tunnels aswell. But thanks for the tip about Sensors really appreciate it.

Cameras are a form of sensor, especially when linked to software that differentiates between humans and other shapes, and there are plenty of them.

There are many various techniques to bypass these systems. One of these techniques include http://www.partypackage.co.uk/costume-b ... 0022-p.asp these can trick the system and allow access into any tunnel

good point thermal cameras there are
not so much up to par tho and easy to get bye without being noticed

blakjak · 23 Jul 2015, 2:20 pm

They don't use thermal cameras, they use digital smart cams that also detect IR.

And prey tell, how would you bypass a thermal camera? They use them on the SHB

If you run past extremely quick enough they dont catch you they apparently have them at circ quay to wynyard i do know they have them at SHB someone was abit silly and actually set it off by accident which in turn got the place locked down tighter then a nuns A$$

blakjak · 23 Jul 2015, 2:52 pm

Only problem with that theory is you need to know where they are, the SHB ones are well disguised. I don't think they use thermal cams in the railway tunnels, no use, the whole place is lighten up, there are no dark places that would require thermal cams.

aussiemacka · 23 Jul 2015, 10:57 pm

So I theoretically could run through Central underground without setting off any alarms apart from being seen by cameras?

Yeahp Ive done it through martin place to town hall

blakjak · 24 Jul 2015, 4:27 am

lol you're funny...you didn't beat anything no mater how fast you ran, there are no thermal sensors or any other sensors in the Sydney tunnels, only cameras. We've walked the whole system.
Anyway, if you went there, you may have beat their response time, but you where still captured on (digital) 'media'.
I can show you footage of myself and associates captured by the security cameras, I have the .mp4 file here. Just because you didn't get caught, it doesn't mean they didn't 'see' you.

*shakes head*

Do they constantly monitor the cameras or is it like switched through Every few minutes or so?

Any video based security system worth getting has flagging capabilities which would identify things that dont belong in the frame, nobody sits and watches monitors anymore unless the area gets regular foot traffic.

Basically, what Crispex said. They use software with smartcams that have certain parameters programmed in, it ignores rats, mice, trains, dust and trash being blown around, but it alerts when it detects anything that looks like a human, or a bomb, etc. There's basically one guy who sits in front of a computer watching porn and chatting up chix on IRC who gets alerted if something unusual happens. Bells and buzzers would go off, the monitor would focus on the camera that has made a detection, a red box gets placed around the suspect item, and then the operator could take control of that camera to pan up and down left and right, and to zoom in and out. If what he sees is not threatening, he'll go back to watching porn and chatting up teen whores, but if he sees a shifty urban explorer trying to sneak into St James, he'll make calls and all sorts of fecal matter will hit that ancient air-con unit on the ceiling.
They use the same technology at at train stations and airports to detect bags left unattended and other weird sh1t.

I don't know why I'm saying all this, they have been using it for over 10 years now.

So why hasnt these people who run off plattys to the tunnel get caught.
