It was National Train Day on Saturday–a day to “celebrate train travel and the ways trains touch the lives of people across America,” said the press materials–and our pal Emily over at IRidetheHarlemLine spent it photographing trains.
She hit a special milestone–photographing the 100th station in her Panorama Project, which will see her shoot each and every Metro-North station and do them up fancy in PhotoShop. (Hey, someone should, like, write a story for the NY Times about that crazy initiative or something!)
She just recently ventured to the Hudson Line, where Poughkeepsie was lucky No. 100.
Amtrak is behind National Train Day (which may explain why it actually occurred May 13, a day late…Kidding!). Rosario Dawson was named National Train Day spokesperson, because she adores trains, and is quite pretty.
“I am delighted to join Amtrak and train fans everywhere in celebrating National Train Day,” she said. “I love trains not only because they offer a more intimate way to see the country and experience the communities along the way, but also because they are one of the greatest ways to travel, which is a value that has always been important to me.”
Dawson of course played a railroad employee in the 2010 film “Unstoppable.”

I had the pleasure of meeting our favorite station-photographing blogger Saturday at Grand Central 🙂
