Gold-Plated Memories
As the rainy weather continues, the region’s outdoor recreational activity has been null. But the wet and wild Curse of Zeke Marcus did not seem to faze a young woman on the 8:16 this morn. She boarded at White Plains. She … Continue reading
Please Tell Me Where You are So I Can Kill You
Not sure if it’s the case with other railroads around the world, but Metro-North has this knack for putting forth truly awful performances on the first day back from holiday breaks. The 8:16 rolled in at the normal time this … Continue reading

‘Spies’ on the 8:16
I boarded the 8:16 out of Hawthorne today, slightly off my game after a four-day weekend. Seat choices 1, 2 and 3 were taken, so I ventured into the next car. The car held about 30 middle-aged people with red, … Continue reading

Rubbing Elbows With CEOs
I had the express pleasure of being seated next to an actual CEO on the 8:16 this morning. He boarded in White Plains and took the window seat next to my aisle seat. In true CEO fashion, he booted up … Continue reading

Rookies
A couple got on board the 8:28 at White Plains. They were in their 30s, black, normally dressed, pretty average looking, if not the commuter prototypes. The train was fairly full, and they milled around a bit, trying to figure … Continue reading

Dumb, Dumber, Dumberer, and Their Three Friends
The 8:22 to Mt. Kisco. It’s been a long day, feeling even longer after the flood debacle the previous day. People are tired. Not so tired is a nattering six-pack of 14-year-old girls returning home after a day in the … Continue reading

Forget the Gap, Mind the Doors
Major action on the 8:43 today. We were docked in White Plains when a commotion suddenly broke out–metal clanging, someone yelling, several riders shrieking and jumping to their feet. An elderly fellow had fallen at the edge of the platform. … Continue reading

New Low For Metro-North
Yes, I recorded my worst-ever ride on Metro-North yesterday in eight months of commuting. Worse than anything encountered during Slippery Rail Season, worse than during those Noreasters, even worse than when Joey From 5A and I hobbled through Hartsdale during … Continue reading
