Welcome back Henry! And may Phoebe Snow shower her blessings on you!
That IS her in the cab, you know?
Thank you all for the remembering and welcoming me back. Firelock, one of the reasons I picked that picture is that I know it was taken at my hometown station, aside from schools, one of two important buildings which were my homes away from home.
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.
I see this whole thread started with my 70th Birthday Ridewithmehenry trip...we've had 24 exciting and unusual trips since and we're ready for the 72nd Birthday trip...nine days late, but, celebrate I must! Have found Philadelphia very senior friendly with a dollar ride on the trains and free on trolleys, buses, trackless trolleys, and subways. So next Wed the 24th we will take the 8:43AM from Colmar, PA on the Doylestown Line after leaving Binghamton by car before 6AM then will be riding the trolleys out of the 40th St. tunnel to Darby and elsewhere south of the MF subway line. A two buck day for us old farts with four from Bingo in my car, two meeting us in Colmar, and one from NJ and a guide from Phila meeting us at 30th St station. Last three trips have been to Phila so July will be Montauk, LI we hope, Aug possibley to CT via Amtrak from NYP and back via MNRR. Sept possibly NYC subways or all NJT, not sure. Oct. similar group to ours will be riding the DL&W lines of NJT and we will join them for part of the day...lots more trips ahead....lots more planning to do!
Welcome back, Hank!!
