Last Monday I had to head out for lunch, and as things worked out I managed to catch a couple Providence & Worcester trains. Not that the first was really planned out, but the second was caught completely by chance.

It’s that time of year again – the 2011 calendar is ready! This year’s calendar is titled “Steel Wheels and Submarines” and features 13 of my all color photos photos taken along the Thames River in southeastern Connecticut of the NECR, P&W, Amtrak and FEC (yes, I said FEC). I’m putting it out […]
Continuing with the catching up theme – here’s one from July 7th. Managed to get out for a quick run up to Gales Ferry, catching Providence & Worcester train NR-2. On the second stop, I also managed to catch a quick shot of New England Central train NERWNE heading north.
More catching up – here’s a look at the continuation of the ethanol extra on the Providence & Worcester side of the river Thursday morning (here’s the post about the southbound trip on the NECR). Yep, the moonshine is moving about…

As seems to be the recent norm for me, I’m running a bit behind on my postings. I did manage to get out a few times last week, and caught some Providence & Worcester and Amtrak action along the Thames River. So we’ll keep this brief and just let you […]
I figured today would be a good one to take advantage of the blue skies and sunshine before the weather hit the shitter for the rest of the week. So I did my usual, and headed up to Erickson Park in Ledyard in hopes of catching Providence & Worcester train […]
Finally, some summer-like weather is upon us, including bright blue sunny skies. This morning I was able to take advantage of the beautiful weather conditions on two different occasions – one on my way into work, and the other a bit later on. And The Hartford I’m talking about isn’t […]
