Two more Metro-North Stations: Larchmont (rebuilt) and Mammaroneck

My current “finishing things” from the archive project is getting every Metro-North Station I’ve visited (and didn’t lose photos from during an unfortunate hard-drive crash, primarily involving the Wassaic Shuttle) up on the web. Here are two more stations on the New Haven Line in Westchester: Mamaroneck–(113 Photos) Larchmont–(rebuilt with 42 additional photos)   Enjoy!

From the Vault – Metro-North’s Pelham, New Rochelle and Mt. Vernon East Stations

I’m not quite all caught up on my 2018 trips to this date but have gotten a big urge to return to my New York City Routes and get every Metro-North Station I’ve visited with photos processed and a station page made for the website. The bulk of this update will be the Westchester portion […]

Transportation Camp and a not alone SSL trip home

I have my adventure with the door to the bike car, not quite platforming as I arrive and then start bike riding down Roosevelt Road with the unique crosswalk/bike line towards the UIC Student Center on Halstead Street.   I ride over the Railroad yards and turn north towards Halstead Street to get to the student […]

A Private South Shore Line ride with my bike to Transportation Camp Chicago

This past May (on May 5th to be exact) I headed into Chicago to attend the inaugural Transportation Camp Chicago for the day. Louise and I considered getting a hotel room and making a weekend out of it but with a big trip (no transit involved) the following weekend, tickets to Kinky Boots in South […]

Flying Home From Disneyland to my first ride on Amtrak’s Blue Water to Niles

After a great day at Dinseyland, on a trip designed to keep us on eastern time, we work up (almost naturally) shortly before 6:00am at the Courtyard by Marriot Anaheim Convention Center, quickly packed up and hailed a Lyft to John Wayne Airport. The ride was quick (taking from 6:09 to 6:27) and cost $16.49, […]

The South Shore Line to the CTA Blue Line to Spirit Airlines to the Metro Green Line to an Uber to Dinseyland

This past April Louise and I had already paid for days at Dinseyland and again headed off to Anaheim for a quick weekend at Louise’s Happiest Place on Earth. Unlike last year when the trip ended with us getting home at 4:00am Monday morning we planned this trip with the goal of “staying on Eastern […]

Heading back from Vancouver via SkyTrain, United Airlines, the Lake Shore Limited and 2 Ubers

This is the final post of my Pacific Northwest Up to Date trip. It’s a bit later than I’d like but I wanted to rebuild Chicago-Union Station first to get those 2 photos properly processed with the station. Me and my Dad have four excellent days skiing at Whistler. We head up there on the 6:00am […]

Chicago-Union Station is Rebuilt with Tons of New Photos

I made a page for Chicago-Union Station, way back in 2008 in an old format that didn’t acknowledge Metra, and pretty much stopped updating it. I got into the bad habit of embedding photos from trip reports through Chicago-Union Station (I plan to continue to do this in trip reports of photos such as lines […]

Finishing the VTA Light Rail Stations

About 4 years ago I did an experiment with writing up the VTA Light Rail, that I think ended up failing. I typed up all my station summaries and decided which photos to use, but didn’t actually process the station. I decided to ‘save’ processing for when I wanted mindless SubwayNut work. The time came […]
