This past weekend I was in Boston for the third straight year mainly for what is turning into an annual pre-Christmas visit by car from New York with my family to see extended family.

New Hamburg and Beacon Stations
The busy holiday season has gotten up to me and I’ve been very poor about making updates this December. I finally have a small one. Last month I headed up to Beacon to visit the DIA Beacon and now I’ve finally found time to upload the the two new Metro-North Stations I visited: New Hamburg–(71 […]
I’ve finally gotten my three posts from my Spontaneous, Quick Trip to Charleston Trip. The main new Amtrak station I got a photo essay of I had a chance to write the Charleston Amtrak Station–(51 Photos) with the two distinctive mirror image waiting rooms in such a seemingly modern station that I found a quite powerful example […]
The DC Metro is one of the only transit systems left in the US I haven’t done at all for my website. I just never quite got down to DC in its awkward position of being close enough for a long day trip but not far enough away for a real getaway. Probably the main […]
To come home from Charleston the choice is obvious, the Palmetto to Washington, DC with a same ticket stopover have an overnight with my Aunt and Uncle and enjoy DC before continuing home just under the 23 hours and 30 minute cutoff that turns a stopover into a layover (and would have given me a […]

Update: Morristown and the Aqua Train
I rarely right single station updates but this is all I had a chance to finish this evening, it is a namesake for a Line and quite historic and beautiful (although I think if I had to choose a favorite on this line it would be Madsion, purely based on the stations, not on the […]
When I was doing my research on Metro-North One-Day Getaways I discovered that the Danbury Railway Museum in the historic station and rail yard in Danbury also has a one-day getaway. I found the price from Fordham (a round-trip ticket and admission) is only $15.25, cheeper than the regular intermediate round-trip fare of $17.50 (if […]
