I’ve been working on a few big projects over the past few weeks and keep not getting any of them finished enough to warrant an actual update. I also haven’t gone anywhere in the past week and a half, after an uneventful not transit based car ride driving my grandmother back from our Summer House […]
Year: 2013
This trip is caused by someone needing to drive my Grandmother back from Maine, the job that was the main cause of my Downeaster to the Cape Flyer Trip a little less than a month ago. My original thoughts for the trip were to wend my way up Maine over two days spending the night […]
Well my hope was to try and make it all the way out O’Hare this evening but I didn’t quite have a chance instead this update will complete the Blue Line as it was (except Logan Square was above ground not underground) in the 1950s when the Dearborn-Milwaukee Subway opened but before the Eisenhower Expressway […]
After Monday’s upload of Amtrak Station’s in Wisconsin I decided it was finally time to get through and finish up Chicago. I’m postponing Boston until after next week because I’m headed up to Maine next week and will have a couple of hours between my Acela train arriving (I could take a Regional an hour later […]
I’m determined to finally get out to Hackettstown, the one part of NJT Rail I haven’t ridden except for the Atlantic City Line that will have to be a much larger adventure of a trip another time. I decide to ask Robbie my friend that I visited in Rhode Island and went on the Shore […]

This Upload I just didn’t quite finish before I left on my Local Trains to Boston and Vermont Trip. So it’s not going to be the usual post-Boston trip update of all the additional photos I have. Instead I’m continuing the final intermediate stations of my Coast Starlight-Empire Builder Trip across the country. Minneapolis Updates with the […]
I wasn’t planning on my Local Trains to Boston and Vermont trip ending with another train journey simply driving back to New York City my parents like most of my trips up to Vermont, but my mother decided to take the car for another day and visit freinds in Southeastern Connecticut. She originally suggested driving […]
The main thing that spurred this Local Trains to Boston and Vermont trip was needing to take the train up and meet my parents in Windsor, Vermont where we have relatives. I’ve taken the train up to that station with the lowest ridership of any stop in the Northeast before but not in many years. […]
For my one full day staying in Rhode Island on Local Trains to Boston and Vermont me and Robbie decided to park at the new Wickford Junction Station (so RIPTA buses serve his beach house) and take MBTA Commuter Rail to head into Boston for a day trip of Downeaster and MBTA Riding. I did look […]
My one railfan friend Robert’s family has a house near Westerly in Rhode Island. Were both off this week and were planning to do some train riding in New York until I realize that this is as good a time as any to finally take the train up to Rhode Island where his parents already […]
