I had to add another points run to my southbound Adirondack ticket and decided doing a NYP-NWK-MET trip in New Jersey. It would also give me the chance to visit Edison, the only stop on the NEC other than Hamilton (that I’m saving for when I finally go to Philadelphia via West Trenton). I knew […]
I return to the station shortly before six and find the caretaker is just coming back to open the station waiting room. I hear him calling Julie (on an old flip phone) for the status of both Directions Ethan Allen Expresses (the northbound is due at 7:10pm) this evening. He tells us their both on […]
This morning started way too early, around 2:00am someone came into the hostel room and switched the light on. This totally woke me up and I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning not getting a full nights sleep. I went downstairs to the hostels underground kitchen around 6:30 (the hostel doesn’t have […]
At 7:10 I left the house (5 minutes earlier than normal, but I didn’t know how long the customs formalities would take). The A train arrived before I had a chance to walk the length of the platform and at 7:35 I was getting off at Penn Station. I went straight to the Amtrak concourse, […]
On Tuesday night I realized that the Yankees chances of making it to Game 6 of the ALCS were looking quite slim and in time for the I love NY 15% or my NARP 10% discounts, I decided it was time for my alternate and train oriented trip for the weekend. The plan, Ocean View, […]
Last January I went for a long 7 mile walk to get the northern 9 stations of the New Jersey Transit Pascack Valley Line. About two weeks ago (in the midst of my attempt to finish Chicago) I went on a (short by my long standards) — mile bike ride to get the southern four […]
During the past month on multiple occasions I found D and F trains in unusual places. Most were due to FastTracks construction along 6th Avenue, I made a few stops on my way home from a late night in Brooklyn, but I also found the F in two other places unscheduled at other times during […]
Although at home I’ve been focusing on Chicago (finally finished as of yesterday), I have had an unlimited in my wallet and have been making plenty of subway photo stops. In this update I present stops along the R train where it runs via the Lower Manhattan Tunnel, and along 4th Avenue: Cortlandt Street–(11 photos […]
Well, the photos I have of the Blue Line Stations out to O’Hare are extremely fragmented but I thought I might as well at least include the pictures I have of the downtown stations. Only two of these six have summaries: Grand–(14 photos) Clark/Lake–(11 photos) Washington–(20 photos) Monroe–(13 photos) Jackson–(20 photos) Clinton–(19 photos) Enjoy!
In this update I have at least a few photos of every station on the CTA Red Line State Street Subway, although only half the stations have summeries meaning I need to revisit the others to make the stations ‘complete’. Here are the 9 stations in Chicago’s original Subway mostly beneath State Street that opened […]
