on Metro-North's Harlem Line
Day 472
The Wakefield station
April 15th, 2013
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
During the late 1960s, just a few people commuted from Wakefield on ancient electric trains built during the Jazz Age, so few that we always worried that the station would be closed. The station itself, which had partially burned down in the late 1950s, was decrepit and had no facilities whatever. The modern station looks palatial by comparison.
