Well I was planning to get more stations done but a little project got me distracted, plowing through 40 years on timetables.org for the Pacific Surfliner to get a real understanding of the number of trains operated and the stations stopped it. This project provided me with excellent information that will become the basis of […]

Well the history of these four stations is slightly less interesting, one is the original terminus, one was rushed to completion after the earthquake and the other two were built as infill stations in 2000. I am though proud to have all of the Antelope Valley Line on the web, now I need to just […]
The 1994 Northridge Earthquake was devastating to L.A. (and in no way am I trying to downplay that) but one unintended consequence is it got the Antelope Valley line extended into that valley within two-weeks with these four stations being built at lightning speeds (extending the then Santa Clarita Line north from Santa Clarita, ten […]
The Coast Starlight is still (studies for a California Coast Daylight day train direct into San Francisco have been percolating for years) the only way to get from the San Francisco Bay area to Los Angeles and Southern California without a bus connection. The train makes just two intermediate stops between leaving the line also […]

Well I haven’t made an update for a few days because I was in Vermont again visiting my family there and today on the way back drove via the Windsor (VT), Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, and Amherst Vermonter Stations, all with their station houses open since I was just ahead of the Vermonter which I ended […]

Upload: the two Modesto Stations
Continuing down the San Joaquin Corridor I present one city with two stations: Yes Modesto only currently has one Amtrak Station–(45 photos), off in a field in regular service: I also had to visit the Historic SP Station–(44 photos) in Downtown, now the Transportation Center and Greyhound Station, seems strange that here the SP route […]
Ideally I would be just adding to and finishing my additions from my travels in the Pacific Northwest and upstate New York, unfortunately my main laptops hard drive is running so low where my main Aperture library is (all the photos are in referenced files for previews) on disk space I haven’t downloaded any of […]
