(Aug 13) A newer (better) camera is for me, an opportunity to re-visit and re-photograph places I’ve been before. I think there’s value in it to see not just the (I hope) improved photographs, but the changes from time.
First stop, Port Jeff train station. Why? I don’t know.
But it seems fitting the journey would begin in Port Jefferson.
Which for the Port Jefferson Branch is…
… the end of the line
These train bridges are one of the few high places out here I have access to
Most people don’t like the light these lamps make, but I kind of like how it photographs
I wish I could get up just a little higher. Another floor or two.

It is evening in Port Jefferson

(December 15) I sleep on the train, he sleeps in the backhoe.
There’s some kind of construction going on here.
What is that I see there?…. is it, … could it be…?
Sleeping in the backhoe. You think? Your call.
Sunnyside Yards.
Amtrak soils New York with Jersey Transit’s trains here.
It’s sort of the waiting room. For some reason this makes more sense than sending them back to Jersey. Probably money changes hands.

Every now and then, I escape back to the city where I belong.
Instead of being the train home to Brooklyn, now it’s the train to the city.
The number of drunks and bums Father Frank’s homeless shelter attracts to the area seems to have steadily risen over time. Now they’re passed out all over the train station day and night.
I prefer this city greeting to the drunks sprawled out on the platform in Port Jeff
Hello ESB, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again.
The city is full of ghosts
The Endless March of the Yellow Cabs
It is now safe to walk uphill.

(June 12) Needed to go for a walk. It was too late to go grocery shopping, so I went behind the train station this time, and kept going.
When I was a kid, this was just a dipshit train station. Now it’s the end of the electrified line, and it’s a huge complex.

Things didn’t get any better around here in March. In fact they got much worse.
Apparently the MTA spun the freight off from the LIRR. If this actually achieves anything, it can only be to prove that the MTA is incompetent at running railroads. Ouch.
And there it goes, the New York & Atlantic.
