Don’t get to excited about this update (Well I do have plenty of photos). As I continue to dither about the best way to write Penn Station itself I managed to write the two subway stations that serve the surrounding area and all of the commuters beneath 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue. The exits are […]

Another Day, another missing, major Subway Station: Delancey Street–(38 Photos) Essex Street–() — with a few into the abandoned trolley terminal, and the awkward signs for the Downtown J/Z and Uptown M signs Artwork–(14 Photos) Enjoy! I’m slowly finishing the subway.
As I was finishing PATH I started writing the 33rd Street PATH station. 34th Street-Herald Square is a station I’ve been meaning to finish for a while. The issue with finishing it is it’s so complicated. I’ve finally perfected my technique for getting station descriptions that are to complicated to simply remember (or in pictures) […]

Upload: NJT Raritan Valley Line
The next 3 stations on the Raritan Valley Line from Plainfield, I visited in January. Each Station is quite different: Dunellen–(60 Photos) — Modern, rebuilt in 1950s and 1960s with ugly station houses Bound Brook–(69 Photos) — Nice old 1912 station house along the Conrail Lehigh Line with plenty of long-distance freight trains that pass the […]
After learning that yesterday was the first day of regularly scheduled operations with the dual-mode ALP-45DPs into Penn Station because of catenary work on the Morristown Line this weekend I just had to go on a little trip to Secaucus Junction to get pictures of them there. Living at the GW Bridge to easiest way […]
I normally don’t bother doing weekend trips, service is less frequent and waiting rooms are closed. The one exception is when weekend service differs from weekday service. I had never ridden anywhere on the Gladstone Branch before, had a friend who could only do the weekend trip and with the current post-Sandy timetables on the […]
With Newark Penn Station finished what better way to expand the system then uploading the first 8 stops on the Raritan Valley Line that I visited on two separate trips nearly a year apart. I find it one of the most interesting lines in the system, full of old station houses and two tracks remaining […]
Well I finally have finished another one of New Jersey major rail stations, Newark-Penn Station. It’s a quite vertical oriented station and I made different sections of pages for its four levels. Starting from the top: Upper Level Platform H–(21 Photos) — used by PATH for discharging passengers Main Elevated Tracks Level–(49 Photos) — six […]
The four days this week the MTA has brought FasTracks to my little branch of the A train between 207th Street and 168th Street. The service advisory was ripped with confusion. It says (FASTRACK_mapA) to either take the 1 train or the M4 bus from 168th Street to 190th Street along Fort Washington Avenue (the […]
Rebuilding and making the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail standards up to my modern standards is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. I finally got started from its southern end including its two year old southernmost station that hadn’t opened yet when I wrote the original section: 8th Street–(50 Photos) — although I […]
