In July (in the middle of a heat wave when NJT was leaving its station houses open, not something I realized when I planned this trip) I did a trip walking/taking one bus to get the rest of the diesel portion of the Boonton Line except for Mountain Lakes that I’m plotting some way to […]
The final two stops on the Morristown Line I visited on Monday: Convent Station–(47 Photos) Madison–(83 Photos) Enjoy!
I just felt the urge to upload some of my new photos from yesterday and extend myself out a little more down the Morristown Line: Chatham–(93 Photos) Summit–(34 Photos) I know Summit needs photos but I found myself writing a summery none the less and decided I might as well just upload the station to […]
The benefit of ending daylight savings time this weekend means I wake up much earlier than normal. I’m awake at 7:00 on the new time, a day without anything real on my agenda. I decide its finally time to get more of the Morristown Line and it’s waiting rooms that close ridiculously early, nearly all […]
Today is the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. I have my half day of work in Brooklyn before leaving around 1:30pm and decided I have to see what’s going on with the R train being supposedly. I headed over to what were once the Lawrence Street–(4 Photos) entrances and find the gates open with no […]
Monday, my first day back begins as a beautiful day. I don’t have any work commitments until Tuesday. My original plan is to perhaps visit Greystone, Glenwood or Ludlow before my YNY to NWK points run. I end up getting distracted catching up on things from this trip and don’t leave as early as I […]
For my trip home I decided to book my ticket from Saint-Lambert so I can get pictures of the dome car entering and also because I’m curious about the state of the station since I visited it a year ago just a few days before the ticket office closed and was supposedly replaced by a […]
My two full days in Montreal were pretty much exactly what I could have hoped for except for the weather on Saturday, rainy and grey. I spent the days and early evenings being a tourist in Montreal and getting about half of the Montreal Metro done. The late evenings I spent hanging out in the […]
The day of my main Adirondack trip on Train #69 going the entire distance from NYP to MTL arrives. I leave the house a little after 7:15 and I am on a crowded morning rush hour A train at 7:25. I get off at Penn Station at 7:55 and have to stand in line behind […]
Yesterday, I realize I’ve gotten all my work done for the week and with my boss away I might as well go on a trip somewhere. It becomes a toss up between DC and Montreal. When I find out low bucket (non-14 days in advance) Amtrak fares the short way to DC are now over […]
