This post I forgot to upload while in Jasper I’ve predated it with the date it was written, free wi-fi can’t be obtained their, all the business have to pay so much for it. Our day on a rainy dreary day in Jasper started off with my alarm not ringing because I had accidentally selected […]

Greetings from Jasper, Alberta where we finally arrived shortly before midnight yesterday by bus after the train broke down in Shelley, a railroad siding or tiny town (there were a few houses in the area) just outside of Prince George, British Columbia, where first got to at 11:35am and finally got off the train at […]
Greetings from Whistler where we took the Rocky Mountaineer’s Ski to Sky climb up to this morning. The trip started early, we had to be in the lobby of our hotel at 6:50. From there it took about half an hour for the single Rocky Mountaineer representative to to hand us our boarding passes and […]
Greetings from Vancouver, BC. We arrived yesterday on an Air Canada non-stop from Newark, a trip that I sort of wish I could title from AirTrain to SkyTrain. The early 7:00am departure though meant that my mother drove us to the airport. The flight was uneventful and fun, cloudy most of the way except over […]
Greetings from Newark International Airport where I join you at this early hour waiting for the 7:00am flight on Air Canada to Vancouver to start my great fall adventure. My working title is Fall Foliage through Domes: A Canadian Rockies and Cross-Country Rail Adventure. This flight will be my only form of air travel (well […]

Upload: The 7th Avenue Subway
Yup this morning I’ve been screaming up the West Side, finishing the 7TH Avenue Line. Here are the 8 dual-contracts stations most renovated in the 1990s, the southernmost express in 2008, a little less interesting than yesterdays IRT counterpart on the East Side: Chambers Street–(32 photos) Franklin Street–(26 photos of the station, plus 9 of […]
One more truck line complete! Just finished these 6 of the southern have of the Lexington Avenue local from Day One on the IRT, there really beneath Park Avenue South for the northern 3 and Lafayette Street for the southern 3. Broadway-Lafayette Street, the most unusual connection on the subway system to only the downtown […]
This is station equals 42 St-Times Square for the longest you can walk underground and still remain within fare control at least at this stop walking within the station isn’t roundabout at Times Square, where transfering from the Shuttle to the 8 Avenue Subway uptown especially is a lot closer if you leave fare control […]
In this update I’m proud to conclude with everything missing from the IND 8 Avenue Line except for 3 big transfer stations I’m still working on. It includes probably the transfer stop that is best set up since it was designed to be one at West 4 Street with the long middle mezzanine, although I […]
