This is part 1 of what will be a 3 part series on my February 17th Metra adventures. This past weekend, Louise and I spent in Chicago so Louise could go to a one-day conference on Saturday. I decided to spend the day doing another Metra Weekend Pass adventure. Looking at schedules I realized that […]

I’m trying to get all the Metra Stations I’ve photographed out of my archive. In this update are four stations on Chicago’s Northside, within city limits.

I’m having a quiet snowy New Years Eve home in South Bend, so I might as well make another website update. Two weeks ago today (December 17) I went with Louise and her Dad to O’Hare to drop them off. Then I drove home, making a few Metra stops, with a goal of getting my […]
This New Years Weekend, I’m spending alone in cold and snowy South Bend. Louise is still in warm Southern California (I have in my queue a post about this trip with a visit to a unique Amtrak Station) where I was last weekend and will be returning to next weekend. The weather right now has […]

Upload: Metra Milwaukee West through Mars
It’s been a busy December but this bitterly cold New Years Weekend I’m alone in South Bend so I’m hoping to get lots of website updates (focus in on Metra with a little Amtrak thrown in), since going to Chicago to go on transit adventures feels a bit unwise. To start: On Halloween 2011, I […]
I woke up at my hotel room in Eligin West/Dundee (after going on a bike/Metra ride out there on Sunday), getting a bit of a late start (it is a rare Monday off from work after all) and after the usual free hotel breakfast got on my bike and rode to the Big Timber Road […]
This past June 4, 2017 I found myself with a Monday I had to take off from work (working an event the following Saturday), and no plans, my friend Robbie needed to go to Chicago to catch a flight after visiting so I decided to spend the night in a suburban Chicago hotel and try […]
In addition to the last Kenosha Update, in this update I have a page for the UP Line’s Chicago Terminus and the first stop on the UP North and Northwest Lines which has a very strange platform arrangement: Ogilvie Transportation Center–(28 Photos) Clybourn–(47 Photos) Enjoy!

Kenosha Metra and Streetcar
I’m on a bit of a Metra Binge right now, trying to get every Metra station I’ve photographed up on the web, some with a narrative. On Sunday, October 3o, 2011 on a Weekend Day Pass I headed up to Kenosha for a few hours to ride the streetcar, it was raining so not too […]
