The Vanishing Point: Draining the Hammer
 
Here's something different:

The site shows pictures of Hamilton's underground world of sewers and drains.

I've been in the "Mountain Juggernaught" and "The Vault". The Juggernaught is an awesome drain, most of it is big enough to host a subway.

I haven't been draining for about a year or two now though. I stopped going after some unpleasant experiences near Wellington/Barton. We were trying to get through a drain that was rumoured to run right under downtown, specifically Jackson Square. The drain itself was pretty awesome and incredibly old (circular with red brick design) however it was also mostly sewage. You can only take that smell for so long...

The really awesome drains to be found are on the mountain and somewhat in Stoney Creek.

edit: just checked the website and noticed the "Duke of Wellington" is the drain we checked out near Barton/Wellington. I'm surprised kowalski went for it. It was pretty gross in the summer.
