These are the first of 3 stations those in the Research Triangle of the 9 new ones I visited on my Recent Trip to North Carolina on the Piedmont Corridor. Don’t worry, there plenty of photos of North Carolina’s unique restored Heritage car fleet. Cary is definitely one of my starts to a photo essay […]

Two weeks ago (before my schedule changed and the riding the Piedmont Corridor was just a dream) today was supposed to be a Philadelphia points run and a SEPTA pre-trip before going up to Vermont to visit my cousins there. I for once bought a $5 MegaBus ticket in advance. Partially because of my North […]
This Post is Part of my Finally the Piedmont Trip The trip home from Charlotte took a bit of thought. When I was planning this trip alone, my plan was to spend my last night in North Carolina in Raleigh. Then take the Silver Star to Rocky Mount to the Carolinian to Peterborough, a city express […]
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 […]
