For my first day in Houston I had a small breakfast of toast and biscuits (an item I had never encountered at a hostel breakfast before). I next went walking and ended up finding the light rail. The Houston Light Rail is the only modern one in the country (Pittsburg is the other, I’ll end […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
I stopped for breakfast which I ate quickly and was worrying about being late. Had I already had a ticket I wouldn’t of worried so much but I didn’t see a Quick-Trak machine when it was in the station. I rushed over and arrived at 8:35. There was a long line to board but the […]
My day leaving Memphis I knew would be early, the City of New Orleans leaves at 6:50am. MATA luckily has quite decent weekday service but I had to walk south a few blocks since the first trip on the 2 would arrive in downtown too late. I woke up a little after 5am and walked […]
Well, Howdy again From Memphis! I had a fairly good day sightseeing here but one terrible moment in the middle of the day due to tourism information having given me an old inaccurate bus schedule. It began fairly early when I had a nice 2 mile walk out to the Pink Palace Museum, an odd […]
Greetings from Memphis and the cheapest (only $15 a night) but really quite nice on the top floor of a church hostel I have ever stayed in. There is nothing religious about it, I was really skeptical of the place when I reserved my bed. Yesterday, I had a fairly quiet full day in Nashville. […]
Howdy from Nashville! Well if the MegaBus Stop in Chattanooga is inconvenient, the Greyhound Stanton is in the middle of nowhere. It is out by the airport. There is a bus route that serves it directly but only six times a day on a round about route that seemed unnecessary. I could have taken MegaBus […]
Greetings from Chattanooga! I had a fairly good day in Baltimore. There the police department must have gotten the Civil Liberties Union Message a year ago regarding photography not being illegal and a Civil Right. I just had one station agent tell me no pictures before I called up customer service who said its fine […]
Greetings from Amtrak Northeast Regional Train #141 which is speeding me presently to Baltimore, on the fastest day on the second train of my just 3 hours old month long trip to Tennessee, Texas, Missouri and back to Colorado. I have learned that I don’t really like planning my trips way ahead, it does often […]
This week is AGR Triple Point week in honor of National Train Day (I’ll be at Grand Central of course). If I lived in a place with a cheep corridor train (for example Philadelphia with the unreserved Keystone, $6.50 for 300 points out to Paoli) I would be trying to ride it quite a few […]
Well today I went on another New Jersey adventure to keep adding to my collection of stations and am now almost complete with the Bergen County Line except for the Ramseys! Taking the bus into Jersey from the GWB Bus terminal is my go to when I am in the mood for some station photography […]
