Yeah, speaking as someone whose grandpa on my dad's side was a WWII veteran who served on the Western Front, part of NJ's contribution to the war effort, the blue on the front is the only part I like about it.

Love the NJT winter hat! The blue NJT hat that I wear in Caleb's videos came from their 40th anniversary festival in Hoboken in 2023.

I hope to do a video on the LIRR's least-used station, Yaphank, before it closes next year

Unfortunately the Saturday Greenport Scoot trains that I rely on to get to the railroad museum in Riverhead to volunteer were still the regular non-dual mode 400s, however this weekend and last weekend, Greenport Scoot trains have THREE CARS! Don’t know why but should’ve been three in the summer

Oh wow, I think I actually foamed your train from the museum at Riverhead! Let’s gooo

Oh yeah, great point! And here's a video of the last pre-Feb 27, 2023 diesel train to stop at Woodside, a train bound for Speonk youtu.be/2uQLAuG3xpc?...

And if you haven't already, please watch my Staten Island Railway adventure with Classy Whale as well! youtu.be/NFuSP7okBUI?...

It’s all good! I remember seeing you at the CityNerd event as well! I thank you for everything you’ve been doing in Maryland, I hope to visit Baltimore again soon. I haven’t visited since 2010, but I enjoyed my time at Fort McHenry

And for those who want to check out my presentation on Latin American transit, here is the link: docs.google.com/presentation...

Thank you to everyone who made the event possible, and it was awesome to finally meet many people in person ( @jeremyzorek.bsky.social , @thefoxandthecity.com , @thetransitguy.com , @spaghettisauceress.bsky.social , among others) #TCNYC25

It was so nice to finally get to meet and talk with you!!!

Same! It was awesome! I’m glad I chose to present despite being my first time. Go big or go home, right? And my presentation on Latin American transit went well! Even @thetransitguy.com showed up!

If we had clones of Steven Fulop and Zohran Mamdani to lead every major and mid-sized city in the US, we'd solve the housing crisis easily.

Quad-tracked, my beloved

Man I miss living along the Hudson Line…

When all of this is happening in Suffolk County on Long Island compared to Rhode Island, that says a lot about Rhode Island.

Rhode Island SHOULD be a transit-first state, it has the bones to be, but its transit is not being given enough money to reach that

And on top of all this, the MTA is relocating its Yaphank station (least-used LIRR stop) to East Yaphank to better serve the Brookhaven National Lab and has been planning on double-tracking & electrifying the LIRR Main Line beyond Ronkonkoma to Yaphank as well as electrifying the Port Jeff Branch!

In addition, Suffolk County:
- built and is building TOD, like at Wyandanch, Riverhead, Patchogue, and Ronkonkoma (latter includes a new airport terminal)
- studying BRT corridors to solve north-south travel
- Hike and Bike Master Plan which recommended 1,200 miles of prioritized improvements

SCT's fixed routes weren't the only ones that improved either, as SCT's paratransit service SCAT has also improved! SCT released a SCAT app in 2024, which lets you pay with a credit card instead of cash, track it, and they now call you to give you a heads up that they're 15 minutes away!

Yup, both the River Line and HBLR were built as DBOMs. HBLR was the very first DBOM in the country.

Of the NJ light-rails, NLR has been the only one that isn't. Operated by NJT Bus Ops. So like SEPTA's trolleys, they're operated by bus drivers. The remnant of what was once a big streetcar network
