I'm doing a just because it's there type of travel challenge today. Trying to ride all of @mbta.com commuter rail lines during their summer fare free Fridays. Will I make it?

When your train is cancelled and you have to wait 30 minutes for the next one you might as well record what goes by including one you wouldn't expect on the east coast of the US. youtu.be/nBam6k7Z_Nk?...

There is something so civilized about about all the lavatories being together on the lower level and not having to stand amongst your fellow passengers in the aisle.

How I wish I could use an Insta360 Luna Ultra for a couple of days next month for a video project to see if it is the camera that take me the next step as a content creator without having to drag so much stuff around that usually gets me frustrated.

I finally uploaded a video I recorded in February. Is it faster or cheaper to take Amtrak Acela, a premium "highspeed" intercity train, rather than commuter trains and the subway? The answer to the questions are in the video. youtu.be/RmNYs6XJyaY?...

You mean like the newer white on blue signs they have in midtown? There are several on 5th Ave.

Olton Hall - Ted Green @oltonhall.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

They blanket replace the signs on a regular bases so there has been other colors especially in Manhattan. They can longer use some of the past colors as MUTCD now limit the color option so they are visible, especially contrast, to motorists.

After 12 hours 9 minutes I complete the heavy rail commuter rail journey from Atlantic City, NJ to Springfield, MA. It could have been done 90 minutes quicker. Is this practical? Not at all. Driving would have been about 6.5 to 7 hours with the horrible CT traffic.

Olton Hall - Ted Green @oltonhall.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

I've boarded the seventh and last train on this trek. CT Rail service from New Haven, CT to Springfield, MA.

Olton Hall - Ted Green @oltonhall.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

On board train six. A Metro-North train to New Haven, CT from Grand Central. This is agency number 4 as I enter State number 4. This train is filling up so I guess a lot of people are taking a half day off work.

Leg 5 is LIRR again for Jamaica to Grand Central. I wish I was in the country of Jamaica as it's cold outside here in NYC.

Olton Hall - Ted Green @oltonhall.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Leg 4 complete. LIRR from NY Penn to Jamaica. This is in keep with the heavy rail/commuter rail theme of this trip.

This trip will be 7 trains with 5 agencies but I had looked a Montauk as a possibility. That's probably the longest commuter line.
