OTOL New York Area All Request RailFest 2011:
Homepage

January 15-16, 2011

Created 12/8/10; Updated 3/3/11

For the OTOL New York Area All Request RailFest 2011, the participants discussed various options and came to a conclusion as to what would be best to do. With the group having ridden every transit and commuter line in the area at least once, the opportunity was given to those who missed when we rode these lines the first time. Some had never ridden the Amtrak branch up to Springfield, so that option was chosen for one of the two days.

Saturday
The Saturday activity was a round trip on Amtrak to Springfield, MA. In both directions a change of trains at New Haven was required. It was a quick turn in Springfield. We had a late lunch in New Haven before returning later.

Sunday
We rode the Danbury Branch and New Canaan Branch of MTA Metro North Railroad. We got to, between, and from them on the New Haven Line. Some used Amtrak as well between their home stations and Stamford.
