I finished my last Rockaway Here We Come! (Again)Â post yesterday on the platform at Rockaway Park waiting for the first revenue service departure.

June 28, 1956: Today, for the First Time Since Sandy: As of Noon today the subway is fully an officially back with service to every station! The MTA reopened the line in style sending out the Museum train first full of dignitaries (from the MTA and FTA, no elected officials bothered to show up) from […]
Today I awoke to a nice Spring Day and a presentation to work on for my internship with the Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center. What a better way to do both of these things and get some more H train photos and then a $2 ride on the temporary Rockaways Ferry. I’ve ridden the ferry twice […]

My points run on Wednesday is from NYP-NWK, a trip with fewer train […]
This is the second post (Post 1) about four trips over four days on a POH-YNY-NYP-NWK-PHL points run muli-city ticket I bought to ride VIA Cars on the Adirondack after Thanksgiving 2012 and to also get nearly enough points for S+ status. If I am ever already buying a ticket on the Adirondack to and […]
The southbound finally is visible at 3:08, there is a crowd of about 15 people boarding and for some reason the crew is insisting on scanning all of us on the platform. This gives me time to get a few photos of the Park car in the station, Evangeline Park, the Park car I realize […]
This is the second post (Post 1) in a multi-part series about a going home from Syracuse via Port Henry on the Adirondack to run the VIA equipment borrowed by Amtrak over Thanksgiving to provide an increase in capacity after Superstorm Sandy. I get on the Adirondack and start chatting with one railfan who’s is […]
This is the first post in a multi-part series about a going home from Syracuse via Port Henry on the Adirondack to run the VIA equipment borrowed by Amtrak over Thanksgiving to provide an increase in capacity after Superstorm Sandy. A few weeks ago I decided I would spend an extra day in Syracuse and […]
