Thanks for the info on the buses, but as someone pointed out this time I want to enjoy a journey on the rails.

many thanks

So far I have NJT train from Penn to Trenton, and then SEPTA to the Philadelphia. I plan to use 30th St. station. Is it good? I have never been to Philly before.

IMO seeing to Jamaica Center beats via nassau

Nope I completely ignored Brooklyn IRT, but got the M instead

A short video okay? http://youtu.be/gAdSWDLc2YM

Yes CIY does have a carwash, but I heard earlier that they use concourse as well. Ohh well its history now...

As of now, it is gone

That would be much appreciated

Wow Toronto is good, columns are spaced further into the station which is good for passenger flow, the island stations do not tend to narrow on either ends, lighting seems good. Definitely worth a visit. Would you happen to have posts of photos?

One of these days, one of these days...I will somehow make it to the Boston.

the naming issue well isn't that big, its mostly tourists and newcomers who have the most problem. Mostly. While it could be a good idea in longshot it would immediately confuse those who have been commuting for years. As for fleet variety, I grew up in the city with 3 lines and all same cars, so fleet variety means nothing to me. It's like its there or not, big whoop

Well for naming mishaps we can blame the street grid, pretty much nothing could have been done about that unless they made up names for stations, e.g. naming after famous people, places and special dates. Still for me fleet variety is nothing to make a big deal of.

While for the fans fleet variety is something important, I would take better designed stations and routes any day, the ones that are thought through for passenger comfort, the ones that do not stop on every block because they had to acquire the most passengers. The ones that are not tangled underground to avoid costs of building more trunk lines and constructing with better technologies. Sorry but those are far better options than fleet variety /end rant.

Makes sense since the way they replace rails is by using pre-fabricated sections, but the thing about maintenance isn't satisfying since there are sections of weld rail everywhere but elevated. My thoughts are going into technical difficulties area, maybe elevated lines experience more stress thus weld rail breaks more often, or since its metal structure, maybe the expansion/contraction requires short sections of rail to accommodate it. It seems that this question is stuck with me for goo...

Around 5pm,there was also some sort of debris on track throughout the day.

I hope its nothing permanent

Very much agreed, RTS. It takes so long just to dissassemble it and the only good part is the tail.
