It’s only fitting to make the last Hudson Line Station the newest, Yankees-East 153rd Street–(61 Photos) that opened only in 2009. Since 2005 I’ve had photos up of the temporary ‘station’ (just wooden steps up to each door) that was used for two days during the Transit Strike. This ‘previous’ Yankee Stadium station has been incorporated into […]

Merry Christmas! Well, regular life got in the way of the SubwayNut this past November and December, with a far too over committed second semester of graduate school. I finally finished yesterday. I am now starting on a month off for winter break and have a bunch of stuff I’m anxious to get up on […]
This Trip was taken on October 8, a week ago The Reason for the Trip: I’m currently writing a paper for my History and Theory of Urban Planning class on Crossing Long Island Sound: The Never-Built Crossing. A trip I’ve been thinking about doing for a long time is the LIRR to Port Jefferson, the […]
For my Saturday in Seattle I didn’t really ride any transit that’s website worthy, although I did take a Washington State Ferry. I spent the morning first going to the Seattle Science Center because its on my Transit Museum Membership (a member of the ASTC passport program). As an adult I wouldn’t have spent money […]
This post is part three of Spring Skiing Spring Break.

Introduction: Today is my day to head home from this Downeaster to the CapeFlyer Trip in High Speed Luxury: the Bay State Ferry Company’s Provincetown High Speed Ferry leaving at 3:00pm to the last Acela Express train of the evening, leaving at 5:20 using an upgrade coupon for first class travel. The day begins with […]
June 28, 1956: Today, for the First Time Since Sandy: As of Noon today the subway is fully an officially back with service to every station! The MTA reopened the line in style sending out the Museum train first full of dignitaries (from the MTA and FTA, no elected officials bothered to show up) from […]
Today I awoke to a nice Spring Day and a presentation to work on for my internship with the Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center. What a better way to do both of these things and get some more H train photos and then a $2 ride on the temporary Rockaways Ferry. I’ve ridden the ferry twice […]
Today, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was a completely free day for me. Tomorrow I leave to drive up to Syracuse with my family but I am taking the train back via Port Henry on the Adirondack to ride the VIA Rail Canada equipment that will be operating on it. My more immediate decision was on […]
I track the Adirondack using my technology and notice it has arrived in Albany 25 minutes late. I unfortunately have no idea how long the engine change will actually take so I return to Schenectady station at about 11:17. I don’t want to wander away further since I don’t know how long the engine change […]
