Greetings from Highland Park after not losing anymore time on the Lake Shore, the route redeeming itself for me at least westbound with the much better schedule and after two good meals in the diner. The fact that boarding in Penn Station needs to be done so quickly they can’t do assign seats makes 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 hour late Lake Shore Limited just west of Syracuse, all the time lost in the Albany Station At 6:14 we passed a grade crossing which says high speed trains. I know Amtrak basically bought the tracks from CSX and was planning to install Passive train control for higher speeds, I wonder if […]
Greetings from the Lakeshore Limited as I go up the Hudson, luckily in a window seat, my bike in the baggage car to do four days of Ragbrai in Iowa. I don’t have my computer with me so I’ll just be updating from my iPhone. Right before I left I continued down the NEC to […]
I’m back in New York! I had thought about taking the train back cross-county but when I realized Amtrak would be double the price of flying I just couldn’t justify it so only about two weeks ago I decided to buy a plane ticket on JetBlue. The final day of my Tennessee to Texas trip […]
Hello from Colorado Springs where my trip of actual traveling has fully come to a close (I’m here for two weddings). Wednesday began with me sleeping in a bit until 9:00 and relaxing in my room, having a disgusting breakfast of donuts from the day before. At 10:00 I go downstairs to check out and […]
Hello from Kansas City, these were the rest of my adventures yesterday: After my last post at about 8:30 I decided I need a half hour power walk, and debate leaving my luggage in the first class lounge (I know that’s the procedure in Club Acelas and Chicago’s Metropolitan Lounge) but go back to the […]
Greeting from the small (maybe sofas a few leather chairs a single bathroom and a computer with a printer) but modern First Class Lounge at the Gateway Transit Center in St. Louis, Missouri. I have been really bad this trip for some reason about posting and I have a bunch in the works that I […]
Last night I realized that the only way I was going to get the Trinity Railway Express done was by waking up early and getting the final four intermediate stations I needed during the AM rush hour. I woke up (nearly on my own) after a terrible nights sleep due to a man snoring and […]
The morning began with me waking up at 5:30, showering and going to the breakfast room of my hotel at 6:00. At 6:30 I walked out onto the relatively cool streets of Norman Oklahoma to walk about a mile to the nearest stop for the 6:50 Commuter Bus for Oklahoma City. I paid my $2.25 […]
Greetings from Norman, Oklahoma where my evening adventure of the day was riding the Heartland Flyer! I am planning to fill in on the rest of my adventures by postdating posts. The day began this morning as I let myself sleep in at the hotel out by Love Field. I went and enjoyed the complimentary […]
