Starting at the Recently Renovated Queens Village LIRR Station and to Central Islip Almost Entirely by Bus Making Most Stops Along the Way

Today I had a completely free day, an Unlimited Ride MetroCard in my wallet and a quest to get more of Long Island done. The original plan was to take the train to Syosset, take a too early train to Huntington (to get some photo time there) and finally ride out to Port Jefferson. Unfortunately […]

In […]

Recently Reopened Aqueduct Racetrack, Manhattan-bound A Trains bypassing 111th St, and more from the A in Queens

I was so focused on finishing Chicago and then Boston I never quite got this update in. Exactly two weeks ago I had a busy week, bought a weekly MetroCard and found myself deciding it was time for some regular railfanning. I noticed that a midday GO was having Manhattan-bound A trains from Lefferts run […]
