Re-starting the Jersey Coast Line: the final 3 stops from Bay Head

This weekend I’m flying back to New York primarily to go to a wedding of some friends on the Jersey Shore. I was looking through my archive for my two primary trips down the shore line 3 years ago: Riding the North Jersey Coast Line all the way to Bay Head, and a North Jersey […]

More Harlem Line: Mount Kisco, Chappaqua, and Pleasantville

Last Monday when I was on the train to Milwaukee I felt like doing something mindless on my computer that would help the website. I remembered I had done the writing for some more Harlem Line Stations (I do have a gap, I don’t have photos – I visited the stations once but photos were lost in […]

Hammond-Whiting: A bizzare suburban Chicago Station

In this small update (my goal is to get my life in order to try and update the website at least weekly) again, I had a chance to process the Hammond-Whiting–(59 Photos) station that I got on my one real trip into Chicago just to bicycle alone back in June and not be social. I’ve taken […]

It’s definitely time though to bring the […]

I am updating the website from South Bend, Indiana (can’t wait to actually bring many more Midwest, South Shore Line and Metra Train Stations, I just need to go out and get some train and bike riding in to get the content), but I […]

Finishing the Metro-North Lower Harlem Line: Mount Vernon West to Scarsdale

This update I’ve been literally working on for nearly a year! A lot of it I had finished last Fall but never proofread. This weekend as I adjust to South Bend I decided it was time to finally get in the grove of updating the website again. I didn’t quite realize how close I was […]

Finishing Metro-North in the Bronx, the Harlem Line

The last time I seriously was updating the website in the Fall my goal was to do the Harlem Line and even went on a couple of trips last September and October trying to finish it off. These rebuilt stations have been quasi on the web since last Fall, but were not proofread and never […]

Tremont and Melrose, Bronx Metro-North’s Least Frequent Mainline Stations

This update contains (rebuilt pages) of two Metro-North Stations in the South Bronx that have the dubious distinctions of being the only stops in electric territory (other than the Mount Pleasant cemetery stop) that lack basic service hourly or better after the 2013 service enhancements. The stops though were both renovated in 2005 and have […]
