This is the second post (Post 1) in a series of posts about completely split subway service (Map for the Day) with no service through blackout stricken Manhattan south of about 30th Street after Superstorm Sandy. I decided I had to see how navigating the city would be heading to Brooklyn to visit a friend. […]

This Trip I took on December 2, 2011 and finally uploaded the photos and stations for: The day started relatively early during rush hour on the A down to 42 Street where I doubled back to the E train like most of my LIRR trips because I see no reason to spend the extra $2.25 […]
Well yesterday I didn’t quite get the full Far Rockaway branch, I didn’t go to Far Rockaway or Inwood that I have visited (and already have pages needing to be rebuilt) long ago, and do plan to return to at some point. Here are the 5 other stations, all of them have depots, one even […]
Well today was the first weekday of service for Nassau-Intercounty Express (NICE) bus, the privatized replacement for Long Island Bus. I also was able to barrow an Unlimited. My impression from today is that absolutely nothing has changed except for the drivers uniforms (now starched white shirts, black ties and embroidered jackets) and stickers over […]

Also the 3 main page Woodside Station: Woodside-LIRR Platform–(31 photos), Woodside’s Shared Mezzanine/ Station House Area–(20 photos, plus 2 of one art for transit installation and 4 of the other), 61 Street-Woodside (Subway)–(page rebuilt with 9 new photos)
Here the only four stations in Nassau County on the Port Washington Branch: Port Washington–(20 photos), Plandome–(29 photos), Manhasset–(22 photos), and Great Neck–(31 photos of the station and 4 of artwork)
rom my trip on Monday, I think the title line sums up the main portion of the Port Washington Branch as it wends its way through Queens stopping at the quite urban feeling Flushing and Murray Hill Stations; Broadway, Auburndale, and Bayside in between, and the extremely suburban, historic houses district Douglaston and Little Neck Stations in the east. This update is all of those stops, easily accessed by City Ticket on the LIRR’s most New York-centric (and until the recent service cuts most frequent, every half-hour during weekday middays) line: Douglaston–(23 photos), Little Neck–(31 photos), Bayside–(29 photos and 3 of artwork), Auburndale–(17 photos), Broadway–(Page Rebuilt with 32 new photos of the renovated station, plus two of artwork), Murray Hill–(11 photos), Flushing Main Street–(18 Photos Added)
Well I thought I would be spending all afternoon doing fieldwork for my class but some very light snow and single-degree temperatures put a damper to those plans so I actually had time to make a website update that is bringing me closer to finishing Brooklyn after today with the LIRR done all I have […]
Well I just had to take a break from classwork and my social life this weekend so I spent a little bit of time making this relatively brief update to the the LIRR Atlantic Branch’s Brooklyn end that goes down to the Atlantic Terminal (that will be the next update when I have time for […]
In this update I present the five single track (although the West Hempstead terminal has two) stations of the electrified West Hempstead Branch. In June 2010 it even lost all Weekend service due to the budget cuts. Each station is almost identical with a short four car platform (one even barely fits between to grade […]
