A Friendly Sunset Limited to Houston, Running into a Previous Amtrak Dining Companion

I stopped for breakfast which I ate quickly and was worrying about being late. Had I already had a ticket I wouldn’t of worried so much but I didn’t see a Quick-Trak machine when it was in the station. I rushed over and arrived at 8:35. There was a long line to board but the [...]

A Full (Stomach and Train) Ride on the City of New Orleans from Memphis to its namesake

My day leaving Memphis I knew would be early, the City of New Orleans leaves at 6:50am. MATA luckily has quite decent weekday service but I had to walk south a few blocks since the first trip on the 2 would arrive in downtown too late. I woke up a little after 5am and walked [...]

A Good Day in Memphis with a Bad Moment Due to the Old Bus Schedule in my Pocket

Well, Howdy again From Memphis! I had a fairly good day sightseeing here but one terrible moment in the middle of the day due to tourism information having given me an old inaccurate bus schedule. It began fairly early when I had a nice 2 mile walk out to the Pink Palace Museum, an odd [...]

A Chatty and Long Greyhound and MATA Ride into Memphis

Greetings from Memphis and the cheapest (only $15 a night) but really quite nice on the top floor of a church hostel I have ever stayed in. There is nothing religious about it, I was really skeptical of the place when I reserved my bed. Yesterday, I had a fairly quiet full day in Nashville. [...]

A Greyhound Aventure to Nashville and Riding the Music City Star

Howdy from Nashville! Well if the MegaBus Stop in Chattanooga is inconvenient, the Greyhound Stanton is in the middle of nowhere. It is out by the airport. There is a bus route that serves it directly but only six times a day on a round about route that seemed unnecessary. I could have taken MegaBus [...]

A Good Day in Baltimore, an uncomfortable MegaBus Ride through the Night and Exploring Knoxville and Chattanooga!

Greetings from Chattanooga! I had a fairly good day in Baltimore. There the police department must have gotten the Civil Liberties Union Message a year ago regarding photography not being illegal and a Civil Right. I just had one station agent tell me no pictures before I called up customer service who said its fine [...]

Tennessee to Texas to Missouri, my next Adventure has Begun!

Greetings from Amtrak Northeast Regional Train #141 which is speeding me presently to Baltimore, on the fastest day on the second train of my just 3 hours old month long trip to Tennessee, Texas, Missouri and back to Colorado. I have learned that I don’t really like planning my trips way ahead, it does often [...]

The Two San Clemente Stations

Well I just realized I had never bothered to make a formal post that all Metrolink Stations in Orange County are now on the website. So today while I am first off to Grand Central to enjoy National Train Day, followed by a Yankee Game and then evening activity I’ll write a formal upload post [...]

Coaster Coasts in With its 6 North County Stations

Coaster is the Commuter Rail that connects Oceanside (transfers to Sprinter) to downtown San Diego hence its name, it is one of the few commuter rail lines that has had no infill stations built opening with the same 8 stations it stops at today in 1995. I have just begun writing the San Diego’s Trolley [...]

The Sprinter has won with 15 Stations!

After finishing this odd little DMU Light Rail System in Northern San Diego County with that great name I just had to include a cheesy title for the post, here are those 15 winning (well most of them look exactly the same) stations. The line’s stops incorporate no artwork, have modular canopy structures, but have [...]
