With this post I’m continuing through the new photos from my California Trip and am proud to introduce the second Expo Line that will appear on my website. Here are the ten new stations of the Expo Line and the two existing Blue Line Stations that are now shared with the Expo Line: 7th St/Metro […]
Here are the additional stations I photographed during my brief stay in Los Angeles last month when I only had a chance to revisit two of the stations that I didn’t type descriptions for, I had forgotten just how sparse my LA Metro Red Line coverage is, guess I need another excuse to come to […]
Normally after I finish a long trip I’m all about getting previously visited stations updated with new photos I’ve taken. Getting home after this trip, writing something new got the better of me and in this update I’ve written the 7 intermediate stops of the Altamont Commuter Express that was one of the more unique […]
After getting off the Pennsylvanian at Elizabethtown its time to continue my points/run the Keystone (connecting to an Amtrak Regional) photo stop. I start by spending the next 20ish minutes getting photos of the modern platforms and historic station house that make up the Elizabeth Station. The restored depot with a stone building has been […]
When I booked this months ago I decided to turn my final day of this trip into a quafecta points run to get more Keystone corridor stations of Elizabethtown, Mount Joy, and Lancaster plus a quick layover for an extra 100 points in Philly. I should also add that the Capital to Pennsylvanian Route is […]
I go back to the Chicago Metropolitan Lounge at 5:10, flash my Select+ Card and my train ticket. The agent tells me that I should go to the main waiting room at around 5:30 for regular coach boarding. I pick my backpack up from the red cap and hear an announcement for lounge boarding for […]
The State Supported Illinois Trains (Illinois Zephyr/Carl Sandburg, Illini/Saluki, and Lincoln Service) offer quite cheap and back tickets to and from Chicago especially when they are at low buckets. On previous trips to Chicago I had never really taken advantage of them (using them more to actually go places). These trips can only really be […]
I have one major goal for the website during my evening visiting old family friends in Milwaukee. The goal is to visit the Milwaukee Airport. Had the Empire Builder been less than an hour late yesterday my plan was to buy a $7.50 for an extra 100 AGR points and the ten minute ride to […]
I’m not going to fully blog about my time in the Twin Cities. The main purpose of the visit was seeing old friends. I did manage to ride Northstar on Sunday one stop from Target Field, Minneapolis to Fridley. This trip was after I attended a Minnesota Twins game and was a New York City […]
I don’t sleep as well this night, waking up more than on the last night. There is a moment near Devils Lake (but I don’t get photos of its depot, one of the few on the route I still haven’t seen). I also wake up again I think in Grand Forks although I’m on the […]
