Introduction to my time in the Bay Area: My two main goals for this stay in the Bay Area are the two Regional Rail Systems (plus the Amtrak Capital Corridor) that I haven’t spent any time focusing on. The reason, mainly daylight timing. My last visit here was in winter The rail systems are Caltrain […]
Greetings from the UnitedClub at SFO. Introduction to Flights between NYC and SFO: My website isn’t about aviation or flying but I do follow the Commercial Airline industry a bit and flying is something I find fascinating. When I realized that taking Amtrak round-trip wasn’t that feasible I started researching flight options between New York […]
Greetings from the UnitedClub at JFK Airport! I’m here awaiting for boarding of my flight to San Francisco (in the lounge courtesy of my AGR Select+ status). The trip I’m about to embark on is a three and a half week trip I’m entitling finishing California to an AGR Loop. The first nearly two weeks […]
The best time to plan a day photographing the southern diesel shuttle end of the North Jersey Coast Line (not including rush hour) is during a Summer weekend when the frequency of the Shuttle trains increases from roughly every other hour to hourly to accommodate the influx of beach goers.

Lautenberg Secaucus Junction Station to pay my respects to a great public transportation leader as he was transferred from motorcade to train at his namesake station for a very short ceremony with the New Jersey Transit Police Honor Guard, and only his […]
Today I decided it was finally time to go and get some more rail stations on New Jersey Transit except by using my bike to get between far apart stations instead of walking like I normally do. The original plan was to go with my bike and get every station on the Morristown Line between […]
Getting the subway stations at Grand Central up to my website is something I’ve been trying to finish for quite a long time. It was one of those stations that two years ago I had mostly written but then got frustrated with trying to figure out the exact entrances to the Lexington Avenue station. This […]
I finished my last Rockaway Here We Come! (Again) post yesterday on the platform at Rockaway Park waiting for the first revenue service departure. The R1-9s ran this route in regular revenue service although they bypassed all stations from Howard Beach to Euclid Avenue. I road from Broad Channel to Euclid, taking the first two Shuttles […]
