11 August 2004. Cryptome has learned there is a second gas pipeline entering Manhattan, an extension of the one cited below, located further north, which transits Manhattan to serve The Bronx and areas northward. This landing facility includes a compressor station for boosting the gas flow. Like the other this facility is near the Amtrak rail lines, but it also adjoins the principal sewage treatment plant for Manhattan. Photo by Cryptome taken August 10, 2004.

These photos, taken by Cryptome on August 6, 2004, show preparations for the Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden, New York City, to begin on August 30, 2004: http://www.2004nycgop.org/
Previous red-teaming report: http://cryptome.org/rnc-prep-01.htm
The first two photo-collages show recent installation of temporary structures on 8th Avenue and sidewalk between Madison Square Garden and the James Farley Post Office.
The topographical map, third photo-collage and pipeline maps show (photos at left) Manhattan's single natural gas pipeline landing, vent, controls and manholes in Riverside Park north of the convention site -- this pipe is fed by a giant pipeline 42-inches in diameter ("the Big Inch") built during the Second World War for transporting gas to the Northeast from Texas and Louisiana. The pipeline landing is located adjacent to the accessible underground and open-cut Amtrak tracks (shown in photos at right) which pass under Riverside Park and along the west side of Manhattan to Penn Station below Madison Square Garden.
