OK, because of COVID I'm a month behind. One of the metrics I use to judge a city is how easy it easy to get from an airport to center city. European cities pass, many American cities pass - except for NYC. Flying back from SFO after Up Your Alley I found my driver unable to make connection. So, took AirTran to Jamaica LIRR station, Jamaica LIRR to Grand Central and then home. First time I've ever been able to do this. Perfect? No. But better.

Sonnenuntergang am - ein solcher Tag ist nach dem Trubel in New York wirklich aufbauend

Auf der anderen Seite des "Amerikanischen Rheins" fährt ein Güterzug von . Aber deutlich langsamer - die Lok wird eingeholt

Über viele Kilometer hat man freien Blick auf den breiten , kein Baum behindert die Sicht. Höchstens Mal ein Bahnsteig oder Gegenzug oder ein Zweiwegefahrzeug.

Die Hudson-Strecke ist zu Beginn viergleisig und versprüht einen historischen Charme mit den alten Masten, der alten Stromschiene und verrosteten Brücken. Alte Backsteinfabriken als Zeugen des Industriezeitalters.

Zum Einsteigen in den Zug verlässt man dann den Hochglanzbereich. Die Züge sind fürs Sitzen ausgelegt - man möchte den Pendlern kein Stehen zumuten. In der Rush Hour fahren natürlich auch hier jede Menge Extra-Züge mit komplizierten Express-Schemen.

Vor dem Einstieg bei müssen natürlich noch die obligatorischen Fotos vom Terminal gemacht werden. Wenn man sich hier umschaut, werden bestimmt 500 Fotos pro Minute von der Halle gemacht.

@capntransit @joelepstein Like those shelters on the or where you are shielded from the wind and rain and might even have a button to turn on the heat or a place to charge your phone.

At 🇺🇸 next to the train station we find the lovely Danbury Railway Museum and their wonderful staff. EMD electro-diesel #2006 is among the stars of their collection. Its 1950s design was created by Swiss-born artist Herbert Matter.

New York’s 🇺🇸 Grand Central Terminal is one of the world’s great railway stations, and one of the busiest. And it’s probably the world’s most visited by tourists.
services leave from here. I am going to travel on one of their trains on the New Haven line.

4 tutoring sessions.

17 miles on the 🚴🏽‍♂️.

What a day! (Would've done a lot more cycling if didn't run a goddamned hourly schedule after 8:30pm!)

@sandypsj @johnmorzen Well thanks. You've reminded me that I want to go there. I'd from the Station to the trailhead and then hike the rest of the way to the top.

What I love about commuter lines is that in off-peak they just turn into a convenience for people who want to take day trips to the city.
Hence today's unplanned hop to NYC!
