Well I’m slightly lying in that update, I’m still missing Sacramento and Davis but those stations should be done in the next few day. I can’t believe though that I’ve set foot on every California Zephyr train platform west of Provo. That is a distance of 875 miles! I will admit that all of the […]

Updates to the website are going to become relatively few and far between again, I’ve just started graduate school in Urban Planning at Hunter College and have finally really gotten busy again.

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.

These cars are ex-NJT Comaro Cars, that are now on basically their third lives after the state of California bought them to try and alleviate a massive car shortage their currently having.
