Today I did another points run and more SEPTA stations trip to Philadelphia that I put onto my itinerary back from via Keystone Train Syracuse. It was a $10 addition. Im running late, and leave the house at 8:45. I get off the A train at Penn Station at 9:12. At 9:17 I’m entering the […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
Greetings from the ClubAcela in Penn Station where I’ve arrived after completing a YNY-NYP points run on the first Empire Service Train of the day to stop at Yonkers #236 to set up my day-trip to Philadelphia tomorrow and enjoy a second breakfast before a noon time appointment in midtown. First I’ve rebuilt, and added […]
I drive to the station arriving at 10:05 with my grandmother and we try the new parking lot situation. You have to take a ticket, you get an hour free and now the price is a steep $7 per day. Parking used to be basically free (maybe $10 for up to 30 days). I walk […]
This is the Flagship Post of my To SYR via SPG Trip! The freight train that entered with a caboose leading has backed into the station stops like its a passenger train, not blocking the passenger crossing. Hear a whistle at 2:33 that same freight train is now blocking views of the Lake Shore soon […]
Greetings from the Amtrak platform where I post via some AmtrakConnect wifi from the Shuttle Train I arrived on a few hours in the station that hasn’t moved and is still idling in the station. After getting off Regional #170 I walk up the platform to my waiting 2 car shuttle train that looks very […]
Greetings from New Haven, Connecticut Where I wait for Shuttle Train #470 to leave at its scheduled departure time of 10:30, starting my actual day of traveling after two days of points runs to begin a three train day on a Northeast Regional, Shuttle to Springfield and the Lake Shore Limited to Syracuse I go […]
My stop on my way downtown today is to visit South Ferry on my way to my internship in Brooklyn. I don’t feel like dealing with the 1 train and the elevators at its 181 Street stop so I get on the A train down to 59th Street. I just make a connection to the […]
On Friday I’m making one of my regular trips to Syracuse to visit my grandmother. This time though I’m going a very unusual route via Springfield to finally ride the Lake Shore Limited through the Berkshires. I was able to plan this trip two weeks in advance to get the Northeast Regional 25% discount which […]
After finishing the Raritan Valley Line on Friday I decided today was the day to use the second half of my High Bridge to Bay Head ticket (costing $11.50, the same as a ticket from Newark to Bay Head) and finally ride the North Jersey Coast Line. The NJT Line I’ve only ridden as far […]
I’ve had this week totally off and have been on a fix to try and finish riding New Jersey Transit. I’m not at all religious so Good Friday is meaningless to me. I’ve realized for photo essays its much easier to hop off at a station when I already know what to expect such as […]
