The Eastern Ventura County Stations
Today I managed to get the first eastern most 4 stations in Ventura County done, 3 of these Amtrak, serves 3 Metrolink Serves. This update presents the last Pacific Surfliner Station only served by Amtrak, all the rest farther south are shared with Metrolink or the Coaster: Ventura (Amtrak only)–(40 photos) East Ventura (formerly named […]
Santa Barbara’s 3 Stations
In this update I continue down the coast to the three stations that serve the greater Santa Barbara Area (all can be connected between for free by asking for a TransiTransfer from your conductor on the Surfliner San Luis Obispo is the only other participating municipality.)

Well I was planning to get more stations done but a little project got me distracted, plowing through 40 years on timetables.org for the Pacific Surfliner to get a real understanding of the number of trains operated and the stations stopped it. This project provided me with excellent information that will become the basis of […]
Well the history of these four stations is slightly less interesting, one is the original terminus, one was rushed to completion after the earthquake and the other two were built as infill stations in 2000. I am though proud to have all of the Antelope Valley Line on the web, now I need to just […]

(and in no way am I trying to downplay that) but one unintended consequence is it got the Antelope Valley line extended into that valley within two-weeks with these four stations being built at lightning speeds (extending the then Santa Clarita Line north from Santa Clarita, ten […]
The Coast Starlight is still (studies for a California Coast Daylight day train direct into San Francisco have been percolating for years) the only way to get from the San Francisco Bay area to Los Angeles and Southern California without a bus connection. The train makes just two intermediate stops between leaving the line also […]
Well Today I am happy to say that I have finished the rest of the stations along the San Joaquin Corridor from my California Trip, these four southern stations include one of the oldest depots, a new ulta-modern depot, a replica depot and a depot that is really just public restrooms: Hanford–(74 photos) Corcoran–(56 photos) […]
Upload: Merced, Madera, Fresno
Well I can’t think of a more creative title for the 5 stations in this upload, 3 San Joaquin and 2 historic SP. Two serves major cities and have recently rebuilt or restored historic depots. The middle stop is a platform that opened in 2010 (from a previous location) and a stop that I think […]
Well I haven’t made an update for a few days because I was in Vermont again visiting my family there and today on the way back drove via the Windsor (VT), Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, and Amherst Vermonter Stations, all with their station houses open since I was just ahead of the Vermonter which I ended […]
