FOUND - 1830's LIRR Locomotive Buried In The Atlantic Avenue Tunnel!
Magnetometer scan of the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel (click to enlarge) from Sam Harris Engineering	There is a circa 1830's wood burning steam locomotive buried in the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel !!! The laptop screen image posted on the website of Sam Harris Engineering shows the relevant aggregate results of the Cesium Vapor Magnetometer (CVM) scan of the two center lanes Atlantic Avenue  between Hicks Street and Columbia Street. This test was performed under BHRA'S auspices in January, 2011 by consultants retained by National Geographic TV. Note: the clearly defined "Red Hot" object. Only pure iron comes up "Red Hot" in the CVM scan, while soil, clay, and other non ferrous objects are depicted in various shades of "blue- green".   Its note worthy that this "Hot Red" iron object was revealed at precisely the spot where Bob Diamond suggested they scan first :-)
Here is Bob's Magnetomer image interpretation . We believe we were ejected from the tunnel because we found the locomotive, and "Mayor" Michael Bloomberg and his NYC DOT didnt want us to get the credit for the discovery.
