My day leaving Memphis I knew would be early, the City of New Orleans leaves at 6:50am. MATA luckily has quite decent weekday service but I had to walk south a few blocks since the first trip on the 2 would arrive in downtown too late. I woke up a little after 5am and walked […]
Well, Howdy again From Memphis! I had a fairly good day sightseeing here but one terrible moment in the middle of the day due to tourism information having given me an old inaccurate bus schedule. It began fairly early when I had a nice 2 mile walk out to the Pink Palace Museum, an odd […]
Greetings from Memphis and the cheapest (only $15 a night) but really quite nice on the top floor of a church hostel I have ever stayed in. There is nothing religious about it, I was really skeptical of the place when I reserved my bed. Yesterday, I had a fairly quiet full day in Nashville. […]
Howdy from Nashville! Well if the MegaBus Stop in Chattanooga is inconvenient, the Greyhound Stanton is in the middle of nowhere. It is out by the airport. There is a bus route that serves it directly but only six times a day on a round about route that seemed unnecessary. I could have taken MegaBus […]
Greetings from Chattanooga! I had a fairly good day in Baltimore. There the police department must have gotten the Civil Liberties Union Message a year ago regarding photography not being illegal and a Civil Right. I just had one station agent tell me no pictures before I called up customer service who said its fine […]
Greetings from Amtrak Northeast Regional Train #141 which is speeding me presently to Baltimore, on the fastest day on the second train of my just 3 hours old month long trip to Tennessee, Texas, Missouri and back to Colorado. I have learned that I don’t really like planning my trips way ahead, it does often […]

The Two San Clemente Stations
Well I just realized I had never bothered to make a formal post that all Metrolink Stations in Orange County are now on the website. So today while I am first off to Grand Central to enjoy National Train Day, followed by a Yankee Game and then evening activity I’ll write a formal upload post […]
Coaster is the Commuter Rail that connects Oceanside (transfers to Sprinter) to downtown San Diego hence its name, it is one of the few commuter rail lines that has had no infill stations built opening with the same 8 stations it stops at today in 1995. I have just begun writing the San Diego’s Trolley […]

The Sprinter has won with 15 Stations!
After finishing this odd little DMU Light Rail System in Northern San Diego County with that great name I just had to include a cheesy title for the post, here are those 15 winning (well most of them look exactly the same) stations. The line’s stops incorporate no artwork, have modular canopy structures, but have […]
This week is AGR Triple Point week in honor of National Train Day (I’ll be at Grand Central of course). If I lived in a place with a cheep corridor train (for example Philadelphia with the unreserved Keystone, $6.50 for 300 points out to Paoli) I would be trying to ride it quite a few […]
