Today, a nice sunny fall day after a productive morning and early afternoon working I just had to get out of the house and go up the Hudson Line. The main thing I want to photograph was the Lake Shore Limited, something I’ve done countless of times but this time I was quite curious. The […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
When I headed up to New Haven last August for my Long Day Wending my Way to Rhode Island trip the conductor on the local train from Fordham to Stamford didn’t punch my ticket so in Stamford I bought a new ticket from Stamford to New Haven for $6.75 and decided to save my full […]
Yesterday I road 4 segments, technically only using 3 of the multi-city segments out of four that Amtrak’s website has. The reason is that the Lake Shore skips Hudson and Rhinecliff so it offers a directly ticketed connection to train 244 that I rode the 1 stop. With my remaining segment I decided to be […]
For my trip home from Syracuse, I want to make a second photo essay visit to Utica and maximize AGR point.With another weekend trip (by car) over Columbus Day Weekend, I realize a second day-trip down to Philly on Wednesday (I work Tuesday and Thursday) will be way too much for me. With the Lake […]
I want to be early down to Penn Station so I can have a little bit of time in ClubAcela and I also know that the Maple Leaf is a train that boards 15-20 minutes early. I leave the house at 6:05, just miss the A train and am getting off the subway at Penn […]

My connecting my two trips segment today is on Springfield-bound Northeast Regional #148, departure time from Newark 6:10. I’m a bit worried and am really wishing I had bitten the bullet and bought a weekly MetroCard this week. […]

We’ll I’ll do the driving I don’t […]

The vast majority of the photos on my website have come from one camera, my Canon Rebel XTi Digital SLR that I bought with my high school graduation money now a little over six years ago. Recently its developed a terrible electrical problem shutting down a lot and combined with no lenses that really work. […]
This trip is caused by someone needing to drive my Grandmother back from Maine, the job that was the main cause of my Downeaster to the Cape Flyer Trip a little less than a month ago. My original thoughts for the trip were to wend my way up Maine over two days spending the night […]
