I don’t like stub-end updates but I’m still figuring out how I’m going to go about the pages for Davis and Sacramento and thought I might as well add the other Capital Corridor Stations on the Rush Hours only extension to Auburn: Auburn, CA–(40 Photos) Rocklin, CA–(31 Photos) Roseville, CA–(88 Photos), including the adjacent UP […]

When I photographed the section for the LIRR’s West Hempstead Branch I got off at the first stop, Westwood and walked/took buses to the rest of the stations on the branch. I’ve kept meaning to actually ride the West Hempstead Branch (it, the Greenport Branch beyond Mattituck, and the Port Jefferson Branch between Port Jeff […]
If my update yesterday didn’t already make clear, I think this update is an obvious one to come next, four more stops on the Capital Corridor, and finally finishing the entire San Joaquin except Sacramento. These stops all have interesting opening histories has well, when Amtrak began the Coast Starlight and City of San Francisco […]
I’ve decided to again dive into the domain of adding new pages before I make updates outside of California and in this update continue up the Capital Corridor from Fremont branching away from ACE north to Oakland Hayward, CA–(34 Photos) Oakland Coliseum, CA–(rebuilt with 42 Photos) Oakland-Jack London Square, CA–(rebuilt with 112 Photos!)

Union Station–(38 Photos) Enjoy!

It turned […]
Yesterday evening a CSX Train carrying mainly compacted garbage derailed between the Spuyten Duyvil and Marble Hill Metro-North Stations. Today Metro-North Hudson Line service is a total mess. There main alternative is telling people to drive to stations on the Harlem Line. There is Limited Service (hourly during middays in each zone, half-hourly during rush […]
After my trip to Jersey two days ago I was very tempted just to write those station but decided it was time to get back to my current goals getting photos from my California trip up onto my website. This update has no new stations but I did finally rewrite the San Diego Trolley section […]
This heat wave made me want to get out of my non-Air Conditioned Apartment to spend an afternoon-evening riding the last stretch of New Jersey Transit’s Northern divisions that I still haven’t been on the Montclair-Boonton Line out to Hackettstown. I also decided it was time to visit a few more stations on the diesel […]
