The Metro-North Panorama Project

I love taking photos, and even more than just doing that, I love taking panorama photos. I thought it would be cool to try and go to every Harlem Line station, and take a panorama photo… and thus the Panorama Project was born. The first station I completed was Mount Pleasant, on April 24th, 2010. The original intent was to do only Harlem Line stations – after I had completed that in February of 2011, I was convinced to do the same thing on the New Haven Line by several readers. The obvious goal after that would be to photograph all of Metro-North’s stations.

Each Tuesday a new station will be posted, along with any thoughts and observations I may have. If historical information is available, or historical images, I will try to include them. From time to time I will also post panoramas from other places, usually train related, but not necessarily related to Metro-North. They’ll be included here and on the Panorama Project Map, in a category of miscellaneous.

      It would be wonderful if the Harlem line north of Wassaic to Chatham could someday be revived. This totally outlandish idea may not be as far-fetched as it sounds. Would you know if the abandoned right-of-way is still intact?

      I have several photos of the new & old Windsor Locks train stations if you’d like to add them. (Also Grand Central.) They’re posted on my blog and on my flickr pages, as well. My family loves train travel.
