Keep tabs in the Trains, Classic Trains, etc. classifieds....check the tourst train guide....google train rides...check NRHS, R&LHS, and specific railroad historical societies, check UP, NS, CSX and other railroad web pages, check your local rail society and other fans, check by your local hobby shop.  If nothing in any of those places, then check back here.

RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
