Montgomery Hydraulic Elevator @ JCPenney - Shoppes at Buckland Hills - Manchester, Connecticut
Recorded on 4/1/23. This is the second orginal Montgomery Vector elevator in this mall. This Montgomery Vector Elevator is in better shape than the Montgomery Vector Elevator at JCPenney in the Emerald Square Mall. I love the instant door close this elevator has!

Thyssenkrupp Traction Elevators @ Former Sheraton Hotel South Tower - Boston, Massachusetts
Recorded on 3/31/23. The video contains the full story of how we got into this building which is apparently a college dormitory now. This was very badly communicated by both the Sheraton and Northeastern University. The video explains the full details. Keep in mind the second floor stated "South Tower Elevators" and there was no signage from Northeastern University anywhere to be seen on the second floor. The call station for the service elevator did work though was not labeled as service elevator. As a disclaimer, this experience was an accident and I do not encourage anybody to attempt to ride these elevators unless they are visiting somebody who lives here. I normally avoid these types of places.

Westinghouse/Thyssenkrupp Traction Elevators @ Sheraton Hotel - Boston, Massachusetts
Recorded on 3/31/23. All of these elevators used to be Westinghouse. Though this is a lot less efficient without the Thyssenkrupp Agile system. This is in the North Tower. Wait till you see what has happened to the "South Tower".

Montgomery Hydraulic Elevator @ Macy's Men/Furniture - Shoppes at Buckland Hills - Manchester, CT
Recorded on 4/1/23. This is actually an awesome elevator! This elevator reminds me so much of the former Montgomery elevator at the Sears at Stroud Mall and that was an elevator I loved to ride. The hydraulic motor sounds pretty similar to that elevator. Yet again those types of hydraulic pumps are awesome to begin with. This elevator also has the same lanterns at former Sears at the Stroud Mall. I guess this elevator gave me a nostalgia feeling of that elevator. This elevator appears to be very well maintained as well. Just so many reasons to like this elevator!

Lovely Westinghouse Hydraulic Elevator @ DSW - South Shore Plaza - Braintree, Massachusetts
Recorded on 4/1/23. Every Westinghouse that is original that I rode during this trip has been flimsy. Quite amusing honestly! This elevator essentially has it's rude door closing at it's finest!

Westinghouse Traction Elevators @ Saks Fifth Avenue - Prudential Center - Boston, Massachusetts
Recorded on 3/31/23. This is the main Saks Fifth Avenue Store in Boston. These elevators are actually quite fast for five floors! These received a slap on modernization at some point. Though I do not like how the elevator company that redid the cab just slapped new cab panels over the old ornate cab.

Montgomery Kone Hydraulic Elevator @ South Shore Plaza - Braintree, Massachusetts
Recorded on 4/1/23. Here is the main glass elevator at the South Shore Plaza. This was not an easy elevator to film but we still managed to get a round trip in. Notice the Karen yelling at us at the end. She wasn't in this video up until she yelled at us. Some people can not be helped it seems. No it was not a mall employee and security. Plus Simon now allows non commercial photography on their properties.

Montgomery Hydraulic West Elevator @ The Shoppes at Buckland Hills - Manchester, Connecticut
Recorded on 4/1/23. I stopped at this mall on my way home from Boston as this mall was my halfway point of the trip. This is such a beautiful mall! This mall has a very New England style design that makes the mall look like a New England town. This is one of two glass elevators in this mall. Both of them used to have the Montgomery Vector fixtures but they have been replaced at some point. This elevator is near Bobs Stores which used to be Dicks Sporting Goods. Bobs is only one floor so I couldn't ride the Schindler elevator there. Enjoy!

Westinghouse Hydraulic Elevator @ Marriott Copley Place - Boston, Massachusetts
Recorded on 3/31/23. While this is still a flimsy elevator, this elevator does run better than the Westinghouse elevator near the Westin Hotel. This elevator is near the Marriott hotel though it's practically in the hotel with the design of this building. If you come to this portion of the mall you would see why.

A railfan short of the Metro North Railroad Employee Holiday Train + Passenger trains at Purdy's!
Recorded on the upload date. A shout out to Garden State Railfan for informing me about the Metro North Employee Holiday train. I was never able to catch this train in the past due to my previous school schedule. With the help of Garden State Railfan, I was able to catch this train after getting out of work. This train also had two newly repainted General Electric P32AC-DM's diesel trains on it as well! This train runs as a special thank you run to Metro North Railroad Employees. Enjoy the video!

Schindler Hydraulic Elevator @ Macy's - South Shore Plaza - Braintree, Massachusetts
Recorded on 4/1/23. This elevator looks very similar to a Lord & Taylor Schindler MT Elevator that was installed in the 90's. Though this elevator was installed in 1995. This is a standard elevator though it's a rocket compared to the Wonderland T Station elevators. Ha!

Time lapse roadtrip! Yorktown Heights to Albany (Taconic State Parkway, Interstates 90 & 787)
Since the Taconic State Parkway is a beautiful ride in the fall, I figured I would make a time lapse of the drive up to Albany. Enjoy this time lapse of the Taconic State Parkway, Interstate 90 and Interstate 787!

Schindler Hydraulic Elevator @ Saks Fifth Avenue Men's Store - Copley Place - Boston, Massachusetts
Recorded on 3/31/23. There were no shortages of Schindler 330A elevators on this trip. However, this set of Schindler 330A elevators were actually quite nice! The main Saks Fifth Avenue Store is located at Prudential Center which is attached to this mall.

Schindler 330A Hydraulic Elevator @ Copley Place Mall - Boston, Massachusetts
Recorded on 3/31/23. This is one of the mall entrance elevator at the Copley Place Mall. This is a standard Schindler 330A elevator but it does have a nice cab design to it. I believe this is a newer entrance to this mall.

Delta-Beckwith Hydraulic Elevator @ Forest Hills T Station - Boston, Massachusetts
Recorded on 3/31/23. Before we went railfanning here, we rode this elevator down to the MBTA Commuter Rail Platform and this elevator smelt clean. Of course when we film this elevator some guy (Possibly from the hood) decided it would be a good idea to smoke some weed in this elevator. I have zero respect for these people. Other than that, this is your standard transit system style elevator. Though I do like the matching orange theme to match the orange subway line.

Railfanning the PM rush hour at Goldens Bridge (R1): Featuring the Yankee Clipper
Recorded on 8/3/23. After a dentist appointment I decided to revisit the Goldens Bridge Station to primarily catch the Yankee Clipper to Yankee Stadium. I decided to catch about two hours and fifteen minutes worth of rush hour while I was here as well. I even got some new video shots from the bridge as well. There is a lot to look forward to see in this video. Enjoy!
