According to our records, on January 13 last year, Trainjotting smashed into commuters’ collective consciousness like a Harlem Line express train hurtling toward White Plains. Over the course of a year, we’ve documented and detailed all sorts of Metro-North minutia as we slowly, painstakingly shifted from commuting newbie to a hard-bitten veteran of the Grand Central trenches.
We’ve had some help along the way, from the likes of Straphanger Joe and Engine Bob (what happened to that guy), CTRider, Connectic Energy, G. Francis, Bobby the Conductor, PeterFromPort and a cast of other commute-chronicling characters.
We’ll be celebrating in style, or at least in our version of style (parachute pants and a Members Only jacket, perhaps?), with some sort of first annual Trainjotting turns one celebration, which we’re tentatively titling the First Annual Trainjotting Turns One Celebration.
We’ll pick a place, and we’ll attempt to wrangle some sort of drinks special (maybe pints marked all the way down to $6.75 at Annie Moore’s?), and we’ll invite any and all readers to come out and hoist a few with us.
Details to follow. Maybe we’ll even get the New Haven Line transvestite to, for lack of a better term, come out.
