Louise and I have formed a little tradition of trying to go and work somewhere like a coffee shop together when I have a holiday off from work for a long weekend when we have no other plans. Good Friday (March 30, 2018) was one of these days and we decided to take a day […]

This past Thanksgiving Louise and I drove (for the second straight year) to and from my grandmother’s house in Syracuse. Taking the Lake Shore Limited we’ve considered but in order to get a Roomette would be over $900 total and even going round-trip coach I was seeing prices of $400 to $500. With the price […]
Christmas I spent with Louise’s family in the Mountains outside of San Diego. After consulting flights the Mesa non-stop made the most sense for me to fly out midday on Friday. Louise and her Dad flew to Phoenix the weekend before (I drove them and made some Metra stops), driving through the desert we made […]
I drove to Columbus, OH a few weeks ago to visit relatives. On the way there I went a slightly more circuitous route via US-6 (there’s no all on superhighways route to Columbus, OH from South Bend anyway), to make two Amtrak station stops within 25 miles of each other: Waterloo–(53 Photos) Bryan–(30 Photos) […]

Albion and Troy, Michigan Amtrak Stations
In March I had to go to Troy, Michigan for a training, and visited it’s new Amtrak Station (which replaced the Birmingham Station just 1,000 feet north of the new platform) and stopped at Albion for a leg stretch break on the way. One stop is historic, one is super modern! Albion, MI–(33 Photos) Troy, MI–(47 Photos) […]
I haven’t had much of a train summer. I haven’t even been on a non-tourist train since June. I’m also currently transitioning computers, (anyone know what program can display my Aperture 2 Photo library on Windows?) to a new PC desktop from the 2009 MacBook that I’m still working on this website on. There were […]
This trip took place on June 3, 2017 Last month, my one other good railfan friend Robbie was visiting me in South Bend. He arrived on Friday on a 3 hour late Capitol Limited. On Saturday, we rented a car for 24 hours (I still don’t have my own vehicle in South Bend) and we […]
These two stations I visited on a different Philadelphia Trip down the Keystone Corridor from the previous updates, and I can’t believe it’s been over a month in the making to get such a simple website update. All I can say is I’ve been busy. In this update I present the two Keystone Corridor Main Line […]
Thought I’d due a bit of a geography lesson with the title of this post. I’ve finished writing pages for the 3 Keystone Service Stations in Lancaster County that I visited almost 4 years ago in my quest to clear my archive of extra Amtrak Stations: Lancaster–(97 Photos) Mount Joy–(48 Photos) Elizabethtown–(71 Photos) Enjoy the […]
I’ve been on an Amtrak Station kick lately, now with my new route pages, trying to figure out if I have any other routes fully photographed but that I haven’t made enough pages for. The Keystone corridor I realized I’m one-stop away from finishing. I’m missing Middletown, PA specifically which is a bit frustrating but […]
