Well he stopped ticking in 1995 after all those BlueRay recalls closed the company. I wonder if there is a connection?

Well of course, 😂
Unfortunately "Thomas the Abandoned in Place Vintage Domestic Booster Expansion Tank Engine" is no longer there. The building chopped him up a couple years ago to make room for some new equipment

It's amazing the things that people can manage to flush down a gym toilet that then gets clogged in the sewage pumps. Of course there's the usual wipes, tampon sleeves, needles and such, but we've also pulled entire pairs of shorts and padlocks out of the the pumps.
Old NYC buildings have the best random finds and it's not always vintage junk, although the vintage junk is always fun too.

Ok. Finding someone sleeping in the ceiling. I was running a job in a hospital, had a lot of work in a hung ceiling in a lab area. Come up the ladder, and there's this guy sound asleep right next to the opening in the ceiling, didn't even have brains enough to crawl in. So I went across the hall and asked one of the nurses for some ice. She gave me a few cubes. Went back climbed up the ladder, held the ice in my hand and dripped ice water right between his eyes. He woke up screaming, dreaming he was having a lobotomy. I damn near fell off the ladder laughing.
