Day Trips In May

New Jersey Transit; Belmar, New Jersey

O-Train; Ottawa, Ontario

Our Photo Lines gallery has been updated with the results of a few day trips in May. First up is a visit to CSX along the Schuylkill River Walk in Center City Philadelphia, with several freights in a scenic, yet urban, locale. Then it's a day on the New York & Long Branch (better known as New Jersey Transit's North Jersey Coast Line) with a lot of cool bridges. And finally, we head to Canada and spend a morning riding the O-Train, the diesel-powered light rail line that serves Ottawa.
