Don’t get to excited about this update (Well I do have plenty of photos). As I continue to dither about the best way to write Penn Station itself I managed to write the two subway stations that serve the surrounding area and all of the commuters beneath 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue. The exits are […]

Another Day, another missing, major Subway Station: Delancey Street–(38 Photos) Essex Street–() — with a few into the abandoned trolley terminal, and the awkward signs for the Downtown J/Z and Uptown M signs Artwork–(14 Photos) Enjoy! I’m slowly finishing the subway.
As I was finishing PATH I started writing the 33rd Street PATH station. 34th Street-Herald Square is a station I’ve been meaning to finish for a while. The issue with finishing it is it’s so complicated. I’ve finally perfected my technique for getting station descriptions that are to complicated to simply remember (or in pictures) […]

Upload: NJT Raritan Valley Line
The next 3 stations on the Raritan Valley Line from Plainfield, I visited in January. Each Station is quite different: Dunellen–(60 Photos) — Modern, rebuilt in 1950s and 1960s with ugly station houses Bound Brook–(69 Photos) — Nice old 1912 station house along the Conrail Lehigh Line with plenty of long-distance freight trains that pass the […]

Living at the GW Bridge to easiest way […]

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 […]
