Tag: Lake Shore Limited
This is the final post of my Pacific Northwest Up to Date trip. It’s a bit later than I’d like but I wanted to rebuild Chicago-Union Station first to get those 2 photos properly processed with the station. Me and my Dad have four excellent days skiing at Whistler. We head up there on the 6:00am […]
Well this post is only two months too late (and just before the next holiday long weekend). Over July 4th Weekend I went on a slightly insane adventure to visit my grandmother in Syracuse. The trip consisted of taking the Lake Shore Limited on Friday night to Rochester, where my parents picked me up in […]
Hi Website and my blog readers, Greetings from my new home in South Bend, Indiana! This was never my intention to be dormant for 8 months. It just ended up this way as I had perhaps some of my busiest 8 months of my life finishing graduate school, leaving New York again to start my […]
For my trip home from Syracuse, I want to make a second photo essay visit to Utica and maximize AGR point.With another weekend trip (by car) over Columbus Day Weekend, I realize a second day-trip down to Philly on Wednesday (I work Tuesday and Thursday) will be way too much for me.

At 12:54, 2 minutes early, I photograph the short, overpowered Lake Shore Limited: two P42 Locomotives, a Baggage Car, a Viewliner Sleeper, 2 Amfleet-II coaches and an Amfleet-II Lounge car arriving. One conductor has opened the baggage car door for the one piece of checked baggage I noticed on the cart in the station, a […]
Greetings from Highland Park after not losing anymore time on the Lake Shore, the route redeeming itself for me at least westbound with the much better schedule and after two good meals in the diner. The fact that boarding in Penn Station needs to be done so quickly they can’t do assign seats makes the […]
Greetings from the hour late Lake Shore Limited just west of Syracuse, all the time lost in the Albany Station At 6:14 we passed a grade crossing which says high speed trains. I know Amtrak basically bought the tracks from CSX and was planning to install Passive train control for higher speeds, I wonder if […]
Greetings from the Lakeshore Limited as I go up the Hudson, luckily in a window seat, my bike in the baggage car to do four days of Ragbrai in Iowa. I don’t have my computer with me so I’ll just be updating from my iPhone. Right before I left I continued down the NEC to […]
