I’m determined to finally get out to Hackettstown, the one part of NJT Rail I haven’t ridden except for the Atlantic City Line that will have to be a much larger adventure of a trip another time. I decide to ask Robbie my friend that I visited in Rhode Island and went on the Shore […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
I wasn’t planning on my Local Trains to Boston and Vermont trip ending with another train journey simply driving back to New York City my parents like most of my trips up to Vermont, but my mother decided to take the car for another day and visit freinds in Southeastern Connecticut. She originally suggested driving […]
The main thing that spurred this Local Trains to Boston and Vermont trip was needing to take the train up and meet my parents in Windsor, Vermont where we have relatives. I’ve taken the train up to that station with the lowest ridership of any stop in the Northeast before but not in many years. […]
For my one full day staying in Rhode Island on Local Trains to Boston and Vermont me and Robbie decided to park at the new Wickford Junction Station (so RIPTA buses serve his beach house) and take MBTA Commuter Rail to head into Boston for a day trip of Downeaster and MBTA Riding. I did look […]
My one railfan friend Robert’s family has a house near Westerly in Rhode Island. Were both off this week and were planning to do some train riding in New York until I realize that this is as good a time as any to finally take the train up to Rhode Island where his parents already […]
Introduction: Today is my day to head home from this Downeaster to the CapeFlyer Trip in High Speed Luxury: the Bay State Ferry Company’s Provincetown High Speed Ferry leaving at 3:00pm to the last Acela Express train of the evening, leaving at 5:20 using an upgrade coupon for first class travel. The day begins with […]
Today is the second highlight of my Downeaster to CapeFlyer Trip, riding the CapeFlyer out to Hyannis and connecting to the P & B Bus to Wellfleet. The day begins with me and my grandmother having an uneventful drive in from Needham on a Sunday Morning, it takes about 20 minutes and we arrive at […]
I have a nice walk in Brunswick, stopping at a cafe to use the internet for a bit and for some pizza for part of my dinner. I also need to sample something from the Downeaster Cafe car since it tries to be local (and is cheeper) like the one on Amtrak Cascades. I return […]
Greetings from Brunswick, Maine! As I continue my Downeaster to CapeFlyer trip. This past April the State of Maine decided to start an experiment with the Downeaster trainset that layovers in Brunswick by having it on weekends make a shuttle trip between 3:00pm and 3:45 to and from Freeport, its intended use is to let […]
Introduction: I’ve been to Maine nearly every summer of my life, my extended family has a house near Ellsworth, much farther downeast than Amtrak’s Downeaster Goes. Only once before (when this blog was in its infancy) have I gone up to Maine not driving with my parents. On that trip I took Greyhound north through […]
