After my break to write most of BART (the rest of it is too connected with MUNI for me to deal with at the moment) I’ve finally found the time to continue updating the Amtrak stations I got more photos of on my cross-country Amtrak trip last June. This Update has the final 4 Amtrak […]
The reason this blog and website has been blank for a few days is because I was writing an update with more than half of BART, specifically every station in the East Bay in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. I’ve also added connecting graphics between the Amtrak stations and BART. BART also has a new […]
Every summer for the past few years the R32 ‘Brightliners’ by far the oldest cars nearly 50 years old that normally dwell on the C have been switched onto the A train so they can give their not all that good air conditioners a rest on the outdoor portions of the A train. This summer […]
I don’t like stub-end updates but I’m still figuring out how I’m going to go about the pages for Davis and Sacramento and thought I might as well add the other Capital Corridor Stations on the Rush Hours only extension to Auburn: Auburn, CA–(40 Photos) Rocklin, CA–(31 Photos) Roseville, CA–(88 Photos), including the adjacent UP […]
When I photographed the section for the LIRR’s West Hempstead Branch I got off at the first stop, Westwood and walked/took buses to the rest of the stations on the branch. I’ve kept meaning to actually ride the West Hempstead Branch (it, the Greenport Branch beyond Mattituck, and the Port Jefferson Branch between Port Jeff […]
If my update yesterday didn’t already make clear, I think this update is an obvious one to come next, four more stops on the Capital Corridor, and finally finishing the entire San Joaquin except Sacramento. These stops all have interesting opening histories has well, when Amtrak began the Coast Starlight and City of San Francisco […]
I’ve decided to again dive into the domain of adding new pages before I make updates outside of California and in this update continue up the Capital Corridor from Fremont branching away from ACE north to Oakland Hayward, CA–(34 Photos) Oakland Coliseum, CA–(rebuilt with 42 Photos) Oakland-Jack London Square, CA–(rebuilt with 112 Photos!) Also […]
This Small Update just finishes my additions to the California section from my trip out there last month, everything else in California from that trip will be new stations: Santa Barbara, CA–(15 Photos) Salinas, CA–(10 Photos) Los Angeles Union Station–(26 Photos) Trains and Platforms at L.A. Union Station–(38 Photos) Enjoy!
Today I stopped at Grand Central to get a few photos of the lack of Hudson Line service. As I was getting off the subway I walked by every entrance into Grand Central and it wasn’t clear where you were supposed to flash your Metro-North ticket for the Subway Cross-Honoring to 242 Street. It turned […]
Yesterday evening a CSX Train carrying mainly compacted garbage derailed between the Spuyten Duyvil and Marble Hill Metro-North Stations. Today Metro-North Hudson Line service is a total mess. There main alternative is telling people to drive to stations on the Harlem Line. There is Limited Service (hourly during middays in each zone, half-hourly during rush […]
