I made those mistakes on my first visit, but now use an Oyster card that I can renew in several ways. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this. I avoid Union Station like the plague. If I'm going to Boston, I get the train to the east, usually Old Saybrook. If NY or south, I drive to Milford station. The coffee shop on the lower level is impenetrable with more then two people in line with luggage. I have been using ...

There are some rough times on this RR radio page. Look for CT Southern CSO-1. There are some CSX and Providence and Worcester, although the latter don't seem to have a set schedule. Many freights run when Amtrak or CTRail aren't around to bother them (night). Similar to the Shoreline run east of New...

Do you mean Cedar Hill yard in New Haven, Hamden and North Haven, CT? If so, there is usually CSX power at the northern end of,the yard, visible in North Haven at the PC Richards parking lot, or from the flyover bridge. At that point, the main line (Amtrak) is on the western edge of the swamp. The A...

A friend from Ossining, NY, had his new EZ-Pass transponder delivered to his post office a couple years ago while he and his wife were at their condo in South Florida, Atlantic Coast. The Ossining P.O. forwarded it to Florida. When he got his next statement, he was charged for every EZ-Pass toll bo...

I believe this one is called Cedar by the dispatchers. I can look up the MP when I get a chance.

I re-read this thread all,the way through trying to understand where Blended attacked Mr. Weaver, to no avail. The "counter attacks" against BB looked like a diversion at first, but I think more likely a product of past encounters. On its independent merits, the original statements are wel...
