I’m finally getting back to updates from my June trip, these are all on my Empire Builder trip starting in Washington heading across Montana and into North Dakota, a number of the updates are simply photos out the rear window that I decided to add to the already built station pages (or a few out […]

Introduction: Today is my day to head home from this Downeaster to the CapeFlyer Trip in High Speed Luxury: the Bay State Ferry Company’s Provincetown High Speed Ferry leaving at 3:00pm to the last Acela Express train of the evening, leaving at 5:20 using an upgrade coupon for first class travel. The day begins with […]
Today is the second highlight of my Downeaster to CapeFlyer Trip, riding the CapeFlyer out to Hyannis and connecting to the P & B Bus to Wellfleet. The day begins with me and my grandmother having an uneventful drive in from Needham on a Sunday Morning, it takes about 20 minutes and we arrive at […]
I have a nice walk in Brunswick, stopping at a cafe to use the internet for a bit and for some pizza for part of my dinner. I also need to sample something from the Downeaster Cafe car since it tries to be local (and is cheeper) like the one on Amtrak Cascades. I return […]
Greetings from Brunswick, Maine! As I continue my Downeaster to CapeFlyer trip.

Introduction: I’ve been to Maine nearly every summer of my life, my extended family has a house near Ellsworth, much farther downeast than Amtrak’s Downeaster Goes. Only once before (when this blog was in its infancy) have I gone up to Maine not driving with my parents. On that trip I took Greyhound north through […]
After my break to write most of BART (the rest of it is too connected with MUNI for me to deal with at the moment) I’ve finally found the time to continue updating the Amtrak stations I got more photos of on my cross-country Amtrak trip last June. This Update has the final 4 Amtrak […]
The reason this blog and website has been blank for a few days is because I was writing an update with more than half of BART, specifically every station in the East Bay in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. I’ve also added connecting graphics between the Amtrak stations and BART. BART also has a new […]
Every summer for the past few years the R32 ‘Brightliners’ by far the oldest cars nearly 50 years old that normally dwell on the C have been switched onto the A train so they can give their not all that good air conditioners a rest on the outdoor portions of the A train. This summer […]
