This Post I Pre-dated on February 22, 2012, the date I traveled: When Amtrak first announced the detour via Tahachapi I was quite disappointed, it would run northbound only during the first week of February not when I was out in California. Then it was extended to four more dates the second week and I […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
Hello from Irvine, CA, where I’m am staying with relatives at U.C. Irvine! I arrived here yesterday and spent the day finishing off the northern Orange County stations (on my last trip last March I got Orange County from San Juan Capistrano and south, including all of San Diego County). The day began with a […]
Well I uploaded my last post as the conductor was calling six minutes to Bakersfield and going through the six different buses and their destinations meeting the train. I feel like I am about to get off the Rocky Mountaineer with all their buses for the tourists. We arrived a bit early at 7:26 and […]
Greetings from the San Joaquin (posting via its wi-fi) as I ride into the sunset and then darkness from Hanford down to Bakersfield where I’ll transfer to the Amtrak bus down to L.A, for the night. This morning began in Midpines where I took the one morning YARTS bus down at 6:20am, after the ten […]
Greetings from the Midpines, CA (MDP) Amtrak Thruway Bus (operated by YARTS) Stop! Yes I am spending the night directly at this stop since it is located at the entrance to the driveway of the Yosemitti Bug Youth Hostel whose stop location is described as being at the Hostel on Amtrak’s website (with the ridiculous […]
Greetings from Sacramento, California and the youth hostel here! I arrived here yesterday on the early California Zephyr from Salt Lake City that arrived 7 minutes early after being early across the entire Great Basin of Nevada giving me the opportunity to get a photo essay of the chain linked fence shack at Elko, Nevada […]
Greetings from Salt Lake City, home to TRAX and FrontRunner that have undergone major extensions since I was last here almost two years ago in March. I arrived here on Sunday night, flying in on JetBlue with my Dad during the Super Bowl, slightly ironically on their green plane painted for the New York Jets. […]
I pride myself for this website on not visiting stations by car, I find it takes some of the fun out of it, since I enjoy trying to coordinate train and bus schedules and taking long walks in random places along random train lines. I might has well discuss my outing today: I went on […]
This Trip I took on December 2, 2011 and finally uploaded the photos and stations for: The day started relatively early during rush hour on the A down to 42 Street where I doubled back to the E train like most of my LIRR trips because I see no reason to spend the extra $2.25 […]
Well today was the first weekday of service for Nassau-Intercounty Express (NICE) bus, the privatized replacement for Long Island Bus. I also was able to barrow an Unlimited. My impression from today is that absolutely nothing has changed except for the drivers uniforms (now starched white shirts, black ties and embroidered jackets) and stickers over […]
