What made my little side-trip to Jackson Hole before going to Salt Lake City to meet my Dad was the fact Jackson Hole had a hostel and finding an only $200 flight directly there. Normally their close to $500-$600. The downside to a $200 flight was that it had two connections with 50 minutes in […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
Introduction: I start graduate school in two weeks. I am spending my last two weeks before it starts going on a trip out west that is partially a mid-winter ski trip and ending with some sun in Arizona. Don’t worry there will be plenty of train rides including finding the ex-NJT ComArrows Amtrak California has […]
This post was supposed to go live yesterday (the last day of 2013) but mostly Chinese (I know from looking up stats of their origins) spammers had other ideas and my webhost suspended my website for using too many resources. Over the past month or so the amount of Spam from comments on this blog […]
This past weekend I was in Boston for the third straight year mainly for what is turning into an annual pre-Christmas visit by car from New York with my family to see extended family. This year though I found myself with Saturday afternoon completely free because my parents each had a different old friend they […]
The DC Metro is one of the only transit systems left in the US I haven’t done at all for my website. I just never quite got down to DC in its awkward position of being close enough for a long day trip but not far enough away for a real getaway. Probably the main […]

Introduction: A year ago today exactly I snagged a great deal on a Southwest Airlines flight for $87 from New York to Denver to start my weeklong skiing in Utah and visiting friends in Denver Trip. I ended up canceling that ticket which on Southwest Airlines gives you a credit and then buying another one […]
I haven’t updated this blog over the past couple days because I have been trying to decide the best way to react and whether to post the photos I’ve taken of the derailment that happened last Sunday Morning. I’ve decided to since it seems like a topic that my website should cover (although I’m not […]
When I was doing my research on Metro-North One-Day Getaways I discovered that the Danbury Railway Museum in the historic station and rail yard in Danbury also has a one-day getaway. I found the price from Fordham (a round-trip ticket and admission) is only $15.25, cheeper than the regular intermediate round-trip fare of $17.50 (if […]
After my successful trip a few weeks ago getting a lot more of the Gladstone Branch and Morristown Line done I decide its time to head out to Jersey for another trip to get more (but not finish, it would be a 7 mile walk for the Gladstone Branch done). My plan is to leave […]
