These are the first of 3 stations those in the Research Triangle of the 9 new ones I visited on my Recent Trip to North Carolina on the Piedmont Corridor. Don’t worry, there plenty of photos of North Carolina’s unique restored Heritage car fleet. Cary is definitely one of my starts to a photo essay […]
A couple weekends ago I went up to Rhode Island for the night to visit a friend and on the way there I did a stopover in Mystic, on the way back I got dropped off at Kingston, the only two Northeast Regional Stations between Philadelphia and Boston I was missing! Here are the new […]
Me and my friend go out for a nice breakfast at a restaurant near the Kingston Station called the Station House Restaurant, a perfectly good breakfast place. We then headed over to the Kingston Station–(71 Photos) nice and early a little before 10:00am so I can get my full photo essay. The first thing we notice […]

I’ve been trying to finish the Amtrak stations on the Northeast Corridor between Philly and Boston, with just Mystic and Kingston remaining (I got off at Kingston with this same friend but in the dark).

I walk into Los Angeles Union Station–(11 total photos) after coming down from Sacramento on the Claremont Bus via the San Joaquin and immediately walk through the waiting room with its historic comfy benches that has been corded off to keep the homeless out and fully enforce the “ticketed passengers only” policy. Private security guards are around […]
My original plan for the trip after me and my Dad decided to go skiing at Squaw Valley (before we knew about the lack of snow, in November when we were planning the trip) was to send Dad home and spend a couple days in Northern California, a couple days in Southern California to finish […]
Capital Corridor train #744 arrives into Santa Clara-University–(20 Photos) a few minutes late. I board one car that’s crowded and walk back to the empty last car just behind the locomotive as we depart at 6:00, 4 minutes late. The conductor comes and scans my ticket, asking “Are there two of you?” When both of my […]
Bay Area Needs, Introduction: For my day in the Bay Area I debated just riding BART around a bit (for under three hours, the maximum time your allowed to ride on a single fare) to finish some things before heading into San Francisco to enjoy the evening before taking the bus to a Capital Corridor […]
