Happy 11/11/11 – a very binary day and the last one for 89 years! I have been working a lot on my TripLog for my month of traveling but am not ready to release any more chapters yet. I have though been making my new Amtrak Stations and this update has lots. We begin in […]

Here are the stations I had the pleasure of photographing during my train trip east, I’ve also finally created some station to station click tables (like what most other systems now have) in the style of the new Amtrak standardized signage that has been popping up at so many smaller stations (you can now click […]
