If you're referring to, say, the official map, then no, I don't think it's boring.

That map you showed is, well, imaginative on the part of Mr. Bacon.

I don't know if this has been answered back up the thread, but if it's electric from New Haven to Stamford, then diesel to GCT, does this mean a two-seat ride?

Also, are Danbury and New Canaan passengers transferring at Stamford?

*Also*, where do bustitute passengers from Waterbury transfer?

I'm putting the facts where my mouth is, and you don't have the credentials to call me out on any carpet. I was referring to the geography of Killion's, Metcalfe's and Saccone's districts, not the legislators' rhetoric, which I didn't read and have little interest in reading. Metcalfe's and Saccone...

motor, I'm too lazy to read the article again, but it seems so are you :) My post was directed at Clearfield. It was his "rural district" phrase that caught my eye, not the excerpt from the article, so I called Clearfield on the carpet. And in my opinion there are still many parts of Dela...

Those pics are as shocking as the ones taken along the West/East Berlin border on the morning of Aug. 13, 1961, and in the weeks following. Only this act of sabotage took a few hours, not a few weeks.

I don't have time to search, but was the Boston section of the Lake Shore annulled during the crisis (for lack of a better word) in Boston? Or was it cut back to, say Springfield? Is it running to Boston again?

But that was before the D was rerouted south of Atlantic Av./Barclays from the Brighton Line to the West End Line. Now the B ...
