It’s Primary Day in Indiana, meaning as a government employee, overseeing operations of a small transit system, I have the day off. Normally I use these random holidays (when were not traveling) to work on this website as Louise does her philosophical work, gearing towards her phD. This holiday feels very different, and I can’t […]
I’ve slowly been chipping away at the San Bernardino Line station’s that were sitting in my archive, and this update has the final 4 missing stations, that I’ve visited: Upland-(28 Photos) Rancho Cucamonga-(36 Photos) Fontana-(31 Photos) Rialto-(31 Photos) I’ve also added a page (now all seven lines have their own homepages) for the San Bernardino […]

Covina & Baldwin Park
In this update, I have two stations in Eastern Los Angles county, that have seen ridership decreases since the Gold Line opened Phase 2A of the Foothill Extension about 3.5 miles north of these stations. Both of these stops have paid parking that costs more than parking at the much more frequent Gold Line stops, […]

Claremont & Montclair
These two stations are the closest to each other on the San Bernardino Line (outside of the new extension to Downtown San Bernardino), and both are to become parallel to light rail, if funding can be identified by 2021. Other than that, the two stations couldn’t be more different, one is the largest Park & […]

Cal State L.A. and El Monte
As I continue working through my archive to finally bring the San Bernardino Line online, on this the 43rd day of home on COVID-19 lockdown, I was super happy to realize what a great evening photo set with excellent light I got on a January evening when I briefly passed through Los Angeles back in […]

The Pomona Stations
Pomona, CA has been home to two train station’s that have both operated continuously in the last fifty years, although the types of service at each station has changed. Today both are served by Metrolink, on two different lines. From 1971 until 1994 both were served by Amtrak, the Santa Fe station by the Southwest […]

The San Bernardino Depot
It’s time for a major station in California that I never quite wrote a page for, a depot that was the largest east of the Mississippi when it opened. Since I last visited back in 2013, the station has also had it’s platform structure completely changed for a short extension to the Downtown station, so […]
In our current COVID-19 world, I find myself working from home. The past two weeks have been extremely busy helping to manage bus service cuts due to driver shortages. It’s made me realize just how important public transit is, as an essential public service. Now is not the time though that I will be taking […]
When I visit new stations there are some that I thoroughly research, there are others that I visit more spontaneously, particularly when Louise and I make road trips, Durand–(78 photos) was as one of these stations and looked so impressive that we came back for a thorough visit the following summer. Just over a year […]
With the new Disneyland Flex Pass, Louise and I are currently Disneyland annual pass-holders and have been heading out to Orange County every chance we get (this has been our 3rd trip since August). Ideally we would fly into the John Wayne Airport every time, but flights there are generally much more expensive. This trip […]
