The only such structure left in Manhattan was never used by the Manhattan Els, but by freight rail. It's the High Line. At least it's being preserved as far...
Remember, the last day for the 9 Line was Friday, to the joy of most who use the route. When it began in 1989, the intention was to speed service, like A/B...
Yeah. I'm familiar with the project. I really love the idea of converting it into a new kind of public recreation space and human transitway. Considering the...

I totally agree with Irwin. I'd also somehow include a trip to Penn Station, Newark, on a PATH train, along with a ride on the Newark City Subway. But that's...
Well, I've done PATH, and I tend to avoid New Jersey whenever feasible. lol I also come in on the M60 from LGA to get to my uncle's in Morningside Heights, so...

Well, I'm stumped. This morning's Trib reports on nothing specific about what CTA got. Lots of pork for Chicago. Republicans bitching and moaning. Still does...

hehe I actually have found some nice things in NJ. That park just north of the Hoboken PATH station, for example, provides some great views of the city. I...

That platform was intact into the '80's. I saw it on a Dave Harrison video, probably about 1985. There were 2000's on the Howard line and 5000's still at...
Ooh. Neat bridge. Why is it their tracks always appear to have more heft than ours? It's all standard gauge, is it not? Are they using a heavier rail though,...
