Continuing down the San Joaquin Corridor I present one city with two stations: Yes Modesto only currently has one Amtrak Station–(45 photos), off in a field in regular service: I also had to visit the Historic SP Station–(44 photos) in Downtown, now the Transportation Center and Greyhound Station, seems strange that here the SP route […]
Ideally I would be just adding to and finishing my additions from my travels in the Pacific Northwest and upstate New York, unfortunately my main laptops hard drive is running so low where my main Aperture library is (all the photos are in referenced files for previews) on disk space I haven’t downloaded any of […]
Greetings from the small but nice Panorama Lounge at Vancouver’s Pacific Central Station where I await to begin by journey home across Canada to Toronto before taking the Maple Leaf back across the boarder to New York.

Well, in about 24 hours I am off on my big winter trip to Utah for skiing, then California for the rest of its transit stations and then returning to New York via the Canadian across Canada (making sure I visit Vancouver, WA and ride the Portland Ariel Tramway on my way north). The last […]

This stop was just begging to be added separately, the one Underground Station on the Portland MAX, and the deepest transit station in North America at 260 feet below the street: Washington Park–(page rebuilt with 38 new photos)
I have finally gotten a substantial Portland MAX Light Rail Section done (I photographed the entire system back in October) and might has well make it the initial upload, here are 31 stations or stops: Old Town/Chinatown–(12 photos) Skidmore Fountain–(page rebuilt with 7 photos) Oak Street/SW 1st Avenue–(page rebuilt with 13 new photos) Morrison/SW 3rd […]
