Recorded 6/30/22 - 7/1/22. Last summer I got to stay at a new Hotel in Wildwood. The Regal Plaza has been sold off to new ownership and we had our reservations cancelled on us due to construction and starting fresh at opening. So we found this hotel to stay at. This is a great hotel! This hotel is actually set up for all the things me and my group do on our Wildwood vacations. There are a lot of good spots to hangout and chill at, very clean rooms and a nice swimming pool to swim in. You even get food trucks here as well which we did not get at the Regal Plaza due to the Monstrosity (The giant upscale Grand Condominium building) being right next to that hotel. I had a great stay here and I highly recommend this motel if you are in Wildwood! Enjoy!

Recorded on 11/6/22. Featuring Garden State Railfan and Central Jersey Railfan 104. Last fall I finally got to see the world famous Princeton Junction Station! What a trip this was! I ended up not staying as long as I originally was planing for but we still get a ton of amazing action here. You get at least 10 trains per hour here including on the weekends. It was also nice to catch up on some Amtrak Keystone Corridor action as well as seeing the Crescent. And of course the best part which is the Acela screaming through this station at 150MPH. Enjoy!

Recorded on 6/10/22. This is a very nice Dover elevator at this office building. I also learned how even if you press the button of the floor you are on, the door will still close which is pretty cool.

Recorded on 6/10/22. This is the other elevator that I missed last time I was here. This elevator has the blue LED indicator and the second floor locked off.

Recorded on 8/19/22. I had to get out for another railfanning trip over the summer. This time I took a simple trip out to Pleasantville since I haven't gotten a railfanning video since 2017. I got more trains this time though. Especially since my main goal was to catch the Yankee Clipper train which is the Harlem Line Direct from Southeast to Yankee Stadium on game days. Tune into this great railfanning video!

Recorded on 6/10/22. These are some very nice elevators at this very nice office building. These reminded me of Northern Westchester Hospital in a way since this is a similar Series 2 Modernization. The cabs are neat too. I believe this is a modernization but I am not 100% sure.

Recorded on 6/10/22. This elevator has definitely been modernized at some point. However, it is hard to tell who modernized this elevator.

Recorded on 6/3/22. I was debating weather I wanted to stop here on the way out of Mystic but since it was right across the street from Mystic Aquarium where me and Lisa spent the day, I figured why not. I am glad I did since it turns out these elevators got modernized! I am the first to film these elevators after the modernization. These elevators used to have older Otis Series 1 fixtures. The hotel was renovated so I believe that was the main reason these elevators got modernized despite them running just fine when they were series 1. Enjoy!

Recorded on 4/20/22. As a continuation of the spring break trip I did in Connecticut last year, I transferred at Stamford to ride the 4:02PM "Semi Direct" to Danbury. This train originated out of Stamford and I filmed the entire duration between Stamford and Danbury. Despite the direct being filmed entirely from Grand Central, I am the first to film the Stamford to Danbury shuttle in it's entirety. Enjoy the ride on this beautiful spring day!

Recorded on 6/1/22. I came here to do some shopping and noticed this elevator. This is the Croton-On-Hudson location which is very close to the Croton-Harmon Train Station. Unlike the ShopRite on Route 6 in Corltandt, this is an older ShopRite and this location has a public elevator! The route 6 location goes into an employees only area and has a Schindler HT Elevator. This elevator also goes up into an employees only area, however the only restrooms in the store are also on the second floor making this a public elevator. So I was very happy to actually ride this elevator. This elevator is not original to this store as this is an older ShopRite store from what I believe to be the 1990s. This is a very nice elevator and it has Red Atole Buttons. This elevator did jolt both times going upstairs so I don't think this elevator get's used a lot. Enjoy!

Recorded on 5/3/22. Here is another update on this nice Thyssenkrupp Elevator!

Recorded on 9/16/22. In between elevators and picking up my dad from the airport I ventured out to Harrison to do some late summer/early fall railfanning since it was a beautiful day to do it! I was going to stay for the first Danbury direct diesel out of Grand Central but unfortunately my Dads plane was ahead of schedule so I couldn't stay for that train. Fortunately I did catch "one" of the Danbury trains deadheading through the station. There's a reason it's in quotation marks. Don't worry you still get a diesel train in this video lol. Other than that the New Haven Line never dissapoints for railfanning especially during rush hour. Enjoy the action!

Recorded on 9/16/22. Here is an older elevator that was modernized at some point. I like the green cab on this elevator. I believe the cab is original to this elevator.

Recorded on 4/20/22. This is an epic old elevator! This elevator has very rare square GAL buttons. Enjoy!

Recorded on 4/20/22. This is another General of Hartford elevator in New Canaan! I am not sure if the fixtures are original or not. The cab is quite nice too!

Recorded on 4/20/22. This elevator is clearly not original to this building. I am not sure if this elevator is a new installation or a full replacement of an old elevator. Nothingless this elevator is nice and is incredibly smooth!

Recorded on 4/20/22. There was no brand labeled on this elevator. I thought it was another General of Hartford but according to Jamre288 Productions this is a Euell Elevator. This elevator has a nice motor.

Recorded on 9/16/22. Here we have these very interesting Dover traction elevators from 1982. These are pretty quick for 5 floor traction elevators. The outside hall lanterns on the first floor are Impulse lanterns which is very interesting! The remaining lanterns are the standard traditional ones but still cool either way. Enjoy!

Recorded on 4/29/22. This is a nice older elevator this library has. Martin is a distributor in Fairfield County. The call buttons are quite rare! Similar to Le Chateau Village in Missouri. Enjoy!

Recorded on 4/20/22. This is an elevator at a little office building that also serves as an ADA Accessible Entrance to a Restaurant on the second floor. This elevator is very strange as the floor buttons are labeled LL, 1 and 2 while the indicator is labeled as 1, 2 and 3. Just like a Schindler MT.

Recorded on 4/20/22. Here is a ride on the 3:29PM New Canaan Branch Train to Stamford. On this day the Connecticut gas tax and state transportation fares were suspended making it cheaper to ride on the Metro North Railroad in Connecticut. On my Spring Break I utilized the opportunity to ride the New Canaan Branch for the first time and do an updated video of the Danbury Branch from Stamford Station. Round trip on both of these lines costed me less than $15 in Connecticut whereas a roundtrip from Chappaqua to Wassaic costed about $25 in New York. This was a Spring Break trip well worth it. Enjoy the ride!

Recorded on 7/5/22. On this beautiful summer day, me, my dad and Big Butt Bear went out to do some summer railfanning. We planned on railfanning at Hartsdale and then having dinner at Epsteins but we also decided to check out the Woodlawn Station after verifying that it was a safe neighborhood in the Bronx. After three years we made it back to the South Harlem Line which also consists of the New Haven Line. You can actually see the New Haven Line split off in this video too. Enjoy the video!

Recorded on 4/14/22. Figured it was time for a more in depth video of these elevators on the Google Pixel 4A. This time I did a full round trip on both elevators. These are still very nice National Elevators this building has.

Recorded on 4/14/22. These are some elevators located across the street from the National Elevators I rode back in 2019. This place has some nice Dover elevators. These are also the second set of elevators I found in Westchester County that have Classic Leveling which is interesting to see for Dover Elevators. I wonder if this was done to compete with Otis back in the day, lol! Enjoy!

Recorded on 4/14/22. These are the elevators located in the back of the mall near Mamaroneck Avenue. These elevator are Schindler with MEI Equipment on them.
