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). Consulting the timetables, I […]

Starting Down the New Haven Line: Stratford and Milford

I finished Shore Line East and New Haven about a month ago, I’m finally ready to start coming down the actual New Haven Line. These two stations I visited for free on a little jaunt up Metro-North during the transit emergency after Superstorm Sandy when Governor Cuomo waived fares (including within Connecticut). Each has a […]

The Underpowered New Haven Line and Amtrak at Harrison & Mamaroneck

The vast majority of the photos on my website have come from one camera, my Canon Rebel XTi Digital SLR that I bought with my high school graduation money now a little over six years ago.

No Hudson Line at GCT and the C Train Using R46s and R160s

Today I stopped at Grand Central to get a few photos of the lack of Hudson Line service. As I was getting off the subway I walked by every entrance into Grand Central and it wasn’t clear where you were supposed to flash your Metro-North ticket for the Subway Cross-Honoring to 242 Street. It turned […]
