Today’s Half-Hour Emergency Break Application Delay: I’m on way to Brooklyn to go to work. I’m sitting in the last car that has some people standing but is relatively empty. At about 10:00am just south of 34 Street I heard that awful sound of air rushing out of the breaks and us slowly stopping (not […]

Today I had a completely free day, an Unlimited Ride MetroCard in my wallet and a quest to get more of Long Island done. The original plan was to take the train to Syosset, take a too early train to Huntington (to get some photo time there) and finally ride out to Port Jefferson. Unfortunately […]
On Friday I took a trip that was primarily by Nice Bus (took one short LIRR ride back from Lindenhurst) that I just didn’t get around to blog about out to Nassau and the edge of Suffolk County to finally finish getting the station’s all elevated on concrete guideways (except for one) Babylon Branch. In […]

The benefit of ending daylight savings time this weekend means I wake up much earlier than normal. I’m awake at 7:00 on the new time, a day without anything real on my agenda. I decide its finally time to get more of the Morristown Line and it’s waiting rooms that close ridiculously early, nearly all […]
Today is the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. I have my half day of work in Brooklyn before leaving around 1:30pm and decided I have to see what’s going on with the R train being supposedly. I headed over to what were once the Lawrence Street–(4 Photos) entrances and find the gates open with no […]
Monday, my first day back begins as a beautiful day. I don’t have any work commitments until Tuesday. My original plan is to perhaps visit Greystone, Glenwood or Ludlow before my YNY to NWK points run. I end up getting distracted catching up on things from this trip and don’t leave as early as I […]
For my trip home I decided to book my ticket from Saint-Lambert so I can get pictures of the dome car entering and also because I’m curious about the state of the station since I visited it a year ago just a few days before the ticket office closed and was supposedly replaced by a […]
