My name is Emily, though I am known by many who ride the train simply as Cat Girl. I am a graphic designer, and a Metro North train rider. I've been a Harlem Line rider ever since I was a child, though now I am one of those regular commuter types. I always happen to encounter some of the most strange people, so enjoy my random train and public transportation observations, as well as photos, videos, news, and events from around the Harlem Line (and the MTA).

And if in your travels you encounter a girl with a cat hat, be sure to say hello.
