Update: Elberon, Allenhurst and Asbury Park

Thanksgiving’s roadtrip didn’t turn in any new Amtrak stations, plans changed (we still drove, ending up in a rental car when the car broke down in Toledo, Ohio, all fixed now, but there was no use in finding a mechanic on Thanksgiving Day) but were in a rush to get through and I didn’t get […]

Update: Two Historic Depots and a Racetrack, Continuing down the Jersey Shore

Well, after revisiting the Jersey Shore earlier this month. I finally got inspiration to finally write the stations from my station-to-station bike ride over 3 years ago, and get every station on this 65 mile long line.

Two weeks ago Louise and I flew back to New York City (her first visit with me) to head down to a weeding on the Jersey Shore in downtown Lakewood New Jersey. When I thought I might be heading down to this Saturday evening wedding alone I thought I might save the money on a […]

Labor Day to Port Jervis via Otisville, Main Line Express Trains and Hoboken

This trip occurred on Labor Day, September 7, 2015 Introduction: The goal of the website right now is “finishing things” particularly far-flung portions of our commuter rail system that in the past I’ve been too primarily cheap to venture out too. The most obvious was my Summer Sunday to the Hamptons to finish that branch […]

To Spring Valley via the Hudson Line to the TZx up and the Pascack Valley Line Back

This trip was taken on September 4, 2015. It took a few days to write! Introduction: Hunter gives us all the Jewish Holidays off so this semester is starting on a big whimper and giving me time to tie up some loose ends for the website, ideally with long train rides to read on (it’s […]

Randomly Over to NJT: Morris Plains and Mount Tabor

This week’s postings have been in the works for a few weeks (or a couple of months in the case of when I wrote the descriptions going through my archives before I had a chance to finally process the photos). I know I’m jumping around since this update takes us over to New Jersey Transit […]

Finishing Rockland County: Suffern, Nanuet, and Spring Valley

Before I head back across the Hudson to finish the Hudson Line I realized that although I’d visited these stations a couple years ago I never quite got around to uploading them since Metro-North at that point was the dormant NYC Commuter Railroad in terms of this website. Well right now writing what I have […]
