After 12 hours 9 minutes I complete the heavy rail commuter rail journey from Atlantic City, NJ to Springfield, MA. It could have been done 90 minutes quicker. Is this practical? Not at all. Driving would have been about 6.5 to 7 hours with the horrible CT traffic.

On board train six. A Metro-North train to New Haven, CT from Grand Central. This is agency number 4 as I enter State number 4. This train is filling up so I guess a lot of people are taking a half day off work.

Leg 5 is LIRR again for Jamaica to Grand Central. I wish I was in the country of Jamaica as it's cold outside here in NYC.

Made it to Wilmington, DE on-time. Top speed was 159 mph (256 kph) as we passed my home station in New Jersey. Now I have to take 2 trains back to my home station.

Currently at New York Penn. Most people got off. It's about to get crowded with the people boarding here.

On board the NextGen Amtrak Acela. It's quiet. Slightly smoother because it's new and lighter.

I made it to Newark for my sort of tight connection for the train to New Haven. It was cheaper and easier to switch here than in NYC.

What did I do last week? I almost made it to the stage for a concert with an expected 3000 person audience before the concert was canceled 90 minutes before the start for an "extraordinary medical incident" and we had to immediately evacuate the site. Went drinking instead.

Time to see if everything is good. I think this first render of my next virtual choir video will take some time.
