My one railfan friend Robert’s family has a house near Westerly in Rhode Island. Were both off this week and were planning to do some train riding in New York until I realize that this is as good a time as any to finally take the train up to Rhode Island where his parents already […]
Tag: Northeast Regional
After getting off the Pennsylvanian at Elizabethtown its time to continue my points/run the Keystone (connecting to an Amtrak Regional) photo stop. I start by spending the next 20ish minutes getting photos of the modern platforms and historic station house that make up the Elizabeth Station. The restored depot with a stone building has been […]
Greetings from New Haven, Connecticut Where I wait for Shuttle Train #470 to leave at its scheduled departure time of 10:30, starting my actual day of traveling after two days of points runs to begin a three train day on a Northeast Regional, Shuttle to Springfield and the Lake Shore Limited to Syracuse I go […]
My stop on my way downtown today is to visit South Ferry on my way to my internship in Brooklyn. I don’t feel like dealing with the 1 train and the elevators at its 181 Street stop so I get on the A train down to 59th Street. I just make a connection to the […]
On Friday I’m making one of my regular trips to Syracuse to visit my grandmother. This time though I’m going a very unusual route via Springfield to finally ride the Lake Shore Limited through the Berkshires. I was able to plan this trip two weeks in advance to get the Northeast Regional 25% discount which […]

A NEC NYP-NWK-MET Points Run
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 […]
We return to the Windsor Locks Bus stop at 4:20, there is one other passenger waiting to board. At 4:27 our Shuttle Train #475 arrives in push-mode with an ex-Metroliner Cab Car, followed by an Amfleet-I and then the P42. Only the middle non-cab car is open with maybe 12 people on board one other […]
Today I took a little adventure to finally photograph the Newark Airport Monorail fully, because of a free connection I discovered in Amtrak’s reservation system. Tomorrow I’m taking the Maple Leaf to the Adirondack to the ferry to Burlington to visit some friends who are renting a house near St. Albans (don’t worry I’m taking […]
