The four days this week the MTA has brought FasTracks to my little branch of the A train between 207th Street and 168th Street. The service advisory was ripped with confusion. It says (FASTRACK_mapA) to either take the 1 train or the M4 bus from 168th Street to 190th Street along Fort Washington Avenue (the […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
This morning I have an early morning appointment that was done before 9am. Although rain is in the forecast I decide I might as well try my next transit adventure. The goal is getting some of the rare diesel trains running on the Gladstone Branch that normally uses Arrow IIIs but are running diesels (except […]
This afternoon I deceided it was time to finally leave the neighborhood and go on a little transit adventure down the Jersey side of the Hudson River waterfront. The main excuse for the trip was to finally get more photos and more importantly my descriptions of the Pavonia-Newport (excuse me just Newport) and Hoboken PATH […]
The trip home on a JetBlue red eye 3 buses, TRAX, and the A train, began after a nice final day of skiing Alta. I headed back to our lodge, the Peruvian, and had a quick shower before a night of overnight travel. The trip home began with me and my Dad having a icy […]
Today was my one full day in Salt Lake City. I spent it rail fanning the new FrontRunner South extension who’s service is luckily fully interlined with FrontRunner north. The day though was rippled with delays from waiting to meet late trains going the other direction on the numerous passing sidings. This is somewhat expected […]
After a nice day in Denver visiting friends and only taking RTD once, the 16th Street Free Mall Ride its time to continue my trip with my day on the California Zephyr from Denver to Salt Lake City, a route I’ve only done eastbound arriving in Denver after dark. I get to the station at […]
Today is the Centennial of Grand Central Station. I am a distant Vanderbuilt discendent and was trying to become part of the one descendent that was honored during the main dignitaries ceremony but that fell through. I still though had to stop by Grand Central today and have lunch for 20 cents through throughback to […]
This morning there was a derailment of a CSX grain train that delayed Empire Service Train #280 in Utica for over an hour and then it finally arrived in Amsterdam after passing through the derailment site 2 hours and 24 minutes late. I wasn’t riding the train but was picking up my elderly grandmother (who […]
Well today I took my first Railfan Trip of 2013, exploring more of the Raritan Valley Line and I now have photo essays of every station between Bridgewater and Newark. What made today more ridiculous for me (and a sign of NJ Transit’s strange fares where it can be cheeper to make a stopover) is […]
I’ve been wanting to make webpage updates but have managed to loose nearly all the pictures I took in 2012 to corrupt hard drive issues and I’m still figuring out the best way (and how much money I’m willing to spend) to try and get the photos back. I thought I might as well do […]
