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. This year though I found myself with Saturday afternoon completely free because my parents each had a different old friend they […]

The Charleston Train Station Still With Separate But Equal Waiting Rooms

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 […]

A Rainy Day In Washington Smithsonian Hopping with a Short Metro Ride & Heading Back to New York on the 7:20 Evening Northeast Regional

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 […]

Flying SWA to Charleston via Chicago for a Short Getaway using an Expiring Fare Voucher – I’m taking the Palmetto Home

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 […]

A Day-Trip on Track Work-Delayed Trains to the Danbury Railway Museum

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 […]
