After my trip to Jersey two days ago I was very tempted just to write those station but decided it was time to get back to my current goals getting photos from my California trip up onto my website. This update has no new stations but I did finally rewrite the San Diego Trolley section […]
This heat wave made me want to get out of my non-Air Conditioned Apartment to spend an afternoon-evening riding the last stretch of New Jersey Transit’s Northern divisions that I still haven’t been on the Montclair-Boonton Line out to Hackettstown. I also decided it was time to visit a few more stations on the diesel […]

The Los Angeles Expo Line is Here!
With this post I’m continuing through the new photos from my California Trip and am proud to introduce the second Expo Line that will appear on my website. Here are the ten new stations of the Expo Line and the two existing Blue Line Stations that are now shared with the Expo Line: 7th St/Metro […]
Here are the additional stations I photographed during my brief stay in Los Angeles last month when I only had a chance to revisit two of the stations that I didn’t type descriptions for, I had forgotten just how sparse my LA Metro Red Line coverage is, guess I need another excuse to come to […]

After getting off the Pennsylvanian at Elizabethtown its time to continue my points/run the Keystone (connecting to an Amtrak Regional) photo stop. I start by spending the next 20ish minutes getting photos of the modern platforms and historic station house that make up the Elizabeth Station. The restored depot with a stone building has been […]
When I booked this months ago I decided to turn my final day of this trip into a quafecta points run to get more Keystone corridor stations of Elizabethtown, Mount Joy, and Lancaster plus a quick layover for an extra 100 points in Philly. I should also add that the Capital to Pennsylvanian Route is […]
I go back to the Chicago Metropolitan Lounge at 5:10, flash my Select+ Card and my train ticket. The agent tells me that I should go to the main waiting room at around 5:30 for regular coach boarding. I pick my backpack up from the red cap and hear an announcement for lounge boarding for […]
The State Supported Illinois Trains (Illinois Zephyr/Carl Sandburg, Illini/Saluki, and Lincoln Service) offer quite cheap and back tickets to and from Chicago especially when they are at low buckets. On previous trips to Chicago I had never really taken advantage of them (using them more to actually go places). These trips can only really be […]
