This Post is Part of my Finally the Piedmont Trip We sleep in a bit in the Quality. Enjoy an included overly processed breakfast (there were some of the most disgusting rubbery eggs I’ve ever witnessed). We make the 9:45 bus on its circular route back to the end of the Lynx Light rail at I-475. […]

This Post is Part of my Finally the Piedmont Trip Introduction: The morning I spent on the first Peidmont of the day going from Raleigh to Burlington and doubling back to Durham. The plan for the afternoon is to take the midday Piedmont to Greensboro, use buses to High Point and continue on the evening Carolinian […]
This Post is Part of my Finally the Piedmont Trip The fact the Carolinian was over an hour late and yesterday’s thunderstorm means I’m up early for another early start. The reason is to get Burlington, the one station on the Piedmont Line without any public transportation access that doesn’t seem worth spending a full four […]
This Post is Part of my Finally the Piedmont Trip After enjoying photographing my first ACS-64 that has powered my southbound Carolinian to Washington, D.C. We leave Union Station at 10:55 and directly enter the long, slow tunnel beneath Washington, DC. 11:00 – re-emerge, as a joking conductor. We pass the National Botanic Garden as our […]
This Post is Part of my Finally the Piedmont Trip Introduction: I find myself with a free week. I’ve been meaning to finally head down to North Carolina and ride the only Amtrak Rolling Stock I haven’t ridden yet, the unique North Carolina State Heritage Fleet of the Piedmont Service. While I’m looking for possible trips […]
Introduction: I still have a couple days left on 30 day Unlimited I’ve purchased for a summer course I’m taking. Afterwards I have enough travel planned that I won’t buy a 30 day one and 7 day cards I have a harder time justifying. Anyway, it was time for a trip to try and finish […]
This trip I took a month ago on 27 May, 2014. I thought I would provide a narrative update: I find myself with an-odd gap of time. I get a student rush ticket a little after 10:00am for a show a Lincoln Center that issn’t until 7:30pm. Armed with an about to expire 30-day Unlimited […]
As I was going through my LIRR photos I found some more subway photos that I never quite got up onto the website from last November (2013) over a weekend when all A,B and D trains were running local down Central Park West. I first noticed that the former exit signs covering the tiles for […]
Last month I went on an LIRR trip and finally got to Syosset, a station I never quite got to before because of the fact that it’s one of two stops (the other is Oyster Bay) without NICE Bus Service nearby. I made a stopover (spent 75¢ more) on my way out to the diesel […]
A couple weekends ago I went up to Rhode Island for the night to visit a friend and on the way there I did a stopover in Mystic, on the way back I got dropped off at Kingston, the only two Northeast Regional Stations between Philadelphia and Boston I was missing! Here are the new […]
