I Haz a Choo Choo Train Problem
-
It would totally figure that the rail line a whole mile from my parents’ house is ABANDONED. Thanks Norfolk Southern. They put a dirt mound on it and covered up all the crossing signals north of it.
Apparently it was abandoned because of the grade - it used to run from Spartanburg, SC to Asheville, NC through the mountains. At least there may be some hope for resurrection at some point - they haven’t ripped up the rails or the crossing signals. Dad tells me he gets to watch CSX and NS all the time by where he works - and when the circus comes to town he fuels their trains. GO FIGURE.
Pardon my rage. I told him to send me pictures next time though :P

Greetings from South Carolina
Visiting my parents for a week. I see tracks down the road - likely just freight. Hoping for some picture or video at some point this week!

I’m thinking that People of Metro North is my new favorite blog. Chock full of embarassing pictures of people doing ridiculous (and mundane) things on Metro North.
Although by the quantity of M8 interiors I see, A lot of New Haven line shenanigans.
Happy Friday ppl!

Oho.
I have the weekend to myself - so I’ve yet to decide if I’m going to head into the city, or just troll around here and go record trains or something.
DAMN INDECISION.
Literally, I’ve decided to go to New York then not about three times today.

To me, this will always be the beginning of my obsession - staring at New Haven line EMU’s gliding along while I watched out a school bus window while on a field trip.

Some scenes from the pathetic amount of pictures I took on 4/7/12 - they’re mostly from the vicinity of Coney Island.
Minus the OWS from the Union Square subway station.
