After learning that yesterday was the first day of regularly scheduled operations with the dual-mode ALP-45DPs into Penn Station because of catenary work on the Morristown Line this weekend I just had to go on a little trip to Secaucus Junction to get pictures of them there. Living at the GW Bridge to easiest way […]

I normally don’t bother doing weekend trips, service is less frequent and waiting rooms are closed. The one exception is when weekend service differs from weekday service. I had never ridden anywhere on the Gladstone Branch before, had a friend who could only do the weekend trip and with the current post-Sandy timetables on the […]
With Newark Penn Station finished what better way to expand the system then uploading the first 8 stops on the Raritan Valley Line that I visited on two separate trips nearly a year apart. I find it one of the most interesting lines in the system, full of old station houses and two tracks remaining […]
Well I finally have finished another one of New Jersey major rail stations, Newark-Penn Station. It’s a quite vertical oriented station and I made different sections of pages for its four levels. Starting from the top: Upper Level Platform H–(21 Photos) — used by PATH for discharging passengers Main Elevated Tracks Level–(49 Photos) — six […]
Rebuilding and making the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail standards up to my modern standards is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. I finally got started from its southern end including its two year old southernmost station that hadn’t opened yet when I wrote the original section: 8th Street–(50 Photos) — although I […]
This morning I have an early morning appointment that was done before 9am. Although rain is in the forecast I decide I might as well try my next transit adventure. The goal is getting some of the rare diesel trains running on the Gladstone Branch that normally uses Arrow IIIs but are running diesels (except […]

Upload: Hoboken Terminal is Here!
Hoboken Terminal is the first historic and major NYC Rail Terminal that I’ve actually managed to make complete enough for my website! It has three different sections for the three different Commuter, Heavy, and Light Rail modes that all stop at the station: 1907 Lackawanna Terminal–(rebuilt with 94 new photos!) — NJT Commuter rail &mash; […]
Well in this update I present the final 3 PATH intermediate stops that aren’t part of larger train station complexes that I’m still working on. 14th Street and 23rd Street were on over a year ago to complement the two IND Subway stations there integrated with. Newport–(rebuilt with 37 new photos) Christopher Street–(13 Photos) 9th […]
This afternoon I deceided it was time to finally leave the neighborhood and go on a little transit adventure down the Jersey side of the Hudson River waterfront. The main excuse for the trip was to finally get more photos and more importantly my descriptions of the Pavonia-Newport (excuse me just Newport) and Hoboken PATH […]
One tiny transit system in New York City, I’ve neglected for far too long is PATH, the Port Authority Trans Hudson. It’s one of the oldest transit lines in operation based around two sets of 100 year old tubes beneath the Hudson River. What’s more amazing, except for station rebuildings, and the realignment of trains […]
