Greetings from New Haven, Connecticut Where I wait for Shuttle Train #470 to leave at its scheduled departure time of 10:30, starting my actual day of traveling after two days of points runs to begin a three train day on a Northeast Regional, Shuttle to Springfield and the Lake Shore Limited to Syracuse I go […]
Year: 2013
My stop on my way downtown today is to visit South Ferry on my way to my internship in Brooklyn. I don’t feel like dealing with the 1 train and the elevators at its 181 Street stop so I get on the A train down to 59th Street. I just make a connection to the […]
On Friday I’m making one of my regular trips to Syracuse to visit my grandmother. This time though I’m going a very unusual route via Springfield to finally ride the Lake Shore Limited through the Berkshires. I was able to plan this trip two weeks in advance to get the Northeast Regional 25% discount which […]
One of the most impressive grade separated in the 1910s 3 track railroads I know of is the ex-Lackawanna Main Line. This line still carries New Jersey Transit’s second busiest to the Northeast Corridor Morris & Essex Lines that consist of the Morristown Line and Gladstone branch away from Newark west. This update includes the […]
After finishing the Raritan Valley Line on Friday I decided today was the day to use the second half of my High Bridge to Bay Head ticket (costing $11.50, the same as a ticket from Newark to Bay Head) and finally ride the North Jersey Coast Line. The NJT Line I’ve only ridden as far […]
As I continue to try and get my recent NYC Subway Photos up and on my website, here is another set I shot this past December 9, 2012. For the past few years the MTA has rolled out the R1-9s in revenue service during December between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This past year was no exception. […]
I’ve had this week totally off and have been on a fix to try and finish riding New Jersey Transit. I’m not at all religious so Good Friday is meaningless to me. I’ve realized for photo essays its much easier to hop off at a station when I already know what to expect such as […]
Today it was time for another day trip and points run to Philadelphia. I did it with my one old railfan friend Robert so it was slightly less intense and adventurous than many of my trips with a very leisurely start for a day trip to Philly. We only booked it the night before so […]
I decided it is finally time to upload some of the subway photos I’ve been taking over the past few months. On March 8, the last day before Central Avenue closed for rehabilitation I headed out on a snowy afternoon to get some photos of the Myrtle Avenue Branch including the just reopened Knickerbocker Avenue […]
Well I finally finished my upload from my quick trip to Boston (Springfield I’m holding since I will have a two hour layover there in less than two weeks) and lets start with the three new stations, first with the gem: Worcester-Union Station – (106 Photos!) West Newton – (33 Photos) Newtonville – (29 Photos) I also made […]
