This trip occurred on Labor Day, September 7, 2015 Introduction: The goal of the website right now is “finishing things” particularly far-flung portions of our commuter rail system that in the past I’ve been too primarily cheap to venture out too. The most obvious was my Summer Sunday to the Hamptons to finish that branch […]

Flight Decision: When I looked at and booked my flight home about a month ago I had the option of flying a Delta non-stop to JFK or a United non-stop to Newark both at about the same convenient midday times for the same $150 one-way. My New York Airport preferences are LGA, followed by JFK, then […]
After my successful trip a few weeks ago getting a lot more of the Gladstone Branch and Morristown Line done I decide its time to head out to Jersey for another trip to get more (but not finish, it would be a 7 mile walk for the Gladstone Branch done). My plan is to leave […]
The benefit of ending daylight savings time this weekend means I wake up much earlier than normal. I’m awake at 7:00 on the new time, a day without anything real on my agenda. I decide its finally time to get more of the Morristown Line and it’s waiting rooms that close ridiculously early, nearly all […]
Today is the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. I have my half day of work in Brooklyn before leaving around 1:30pm and decided I have to see what’s going on with the R train being supposedly. I headed over to what were once the Lawrence Street–(4 Photos) entrances and find the gates open with no […]
Monday, my first day back begins as a beautiful day. I don’t have any work commitments until Tuesday. My original plan is to perhaps visit Greystone, Glenwood or Ludlow before my YNY to NWK points run. I end up getting distracted catching up on things from this trip and don’t leave as early as I […]
I’m determined to finally get out to Hackettstown, the one part of NJT Rail I haven’t ridden except for the Atlantic City Line that will have to be a much larger adventure of a trip another time. I decide to ask Robbie my friend that I visited in Rhode Island and went on the Shore […]
After finishing the Raritan Valley Line on Friday I decided today was the day to use the second half of my High Bridge to Bay Head ticket (costing $11.50, the same as a ticket from Newark to Bay Head) and finally ride the North Jersey Coast Line. The NJT Line I’ve only ridden as far […]
I’ve had this week totally off and have been on a fix to try and finish riding New Jersey Transit. I’m not at all religious so Good Friday is meaningless to me. I’ve realized for photo essays its much easier to hop off at a station when I already know what to expect such as […]
As I was finishing PATH I started writing the 33rd Street PATH station. 34th Street-Herald Square is a station I’ve been meaning to finish for a while. The issue with finishing it is it’s so complicated. I’ve finally perfected my technique for getting station descriptions that are to complicated to simply remember (or in pictures) […]
