Yearly Archives: 2007

Well, today I didn’t take my normal walk – in fact I didn’t shoot the P&W or Amtrak at all. I saved it all for a longish lunch in Essex. Yep, Paramount Studios was filming the next Indiana Jones movie today at the Valley Railroad, so I headed down there […]

I wish everyone here in the USA a happy, healthy and safe 4th of July. Enjoy the cookouts, celebrations and fireworks, but most of all, think of our troops serving overseas. No matter what you think of our current situation in the country, they’re defending your right to have and […]

I took the scenic route into work this morning – about 45 minutes out of my way in fact. I did catch a little P&W action at the (almost) usual time, but the side trip on the way into the office was interesting as well. I headed a bit further […]

As per specs, Mondays don’t usually go as planned. I was thinking about heading up to Stoddard Hill for some shots by Stoddard Cove of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 rolling south. But alas, that wasn’t in the cards. But out of misfortune sometimes comes opportunity. That opportunity would manifest […]

Well, somewhat similiar to Wednesday, I ended up catching a couple trains – there was one Providence & Worcester, and one New England Central. The only difference was it was a different P&W train I caught, in a different location.

I decided to head for a little change of scenery this morning for my walk & P&W NR-2 photo session. So I made my way to Stoddard Hill park in Ledyard, only a few miles (about 3) north of my usual spot. It was a kind of gloomy morning, with […]

Busy day in the photography department. Well, not that busy, but I did manage to catch two trains today – one on my usual walk, and the other after work in Willimantic. I also came across a coal barge heading north in the Thames River, bound for a powerplant in […]

I had the pleasure of riding with the crew of Connecticut Southern Railroad train CSO-4 on Saturday June 23, 2007. In addition to the friendly conversation, often times peppered with gut-wrenching laughter, I took a few photos. OK, it was more than a few – well over 700 in fact… […]

Holy crap it was hot today. But that didn’t keep me from my walk. I headed for Erickson Park in Ledyard today – I figured with the haze in the air, I’d take advantage of it and include it in some telephoto shots of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 across […]
