Well, the weather geeks got it wrong again today – at least partially. When I left the house this morning, they said it would be nice for most of the day, then cloud up later in the day. That would work for me – I’ll take my walk and grab […]

I got a letter in the mail today from the Mystic Valley Railway Society. I’ve been entering their annual calendar contest for a few years now, and have had pretty good luck. I’ve had photos chosen for both the 2005 and 2007 calendars previously. Well, here in today’s mail was […]
Spring has finally sprung around southeastern Connecticut. The leaves have all sprouted, and everthing is looking nice and green of late. Today I decided to take my walk around the Mill Cove area in Ledyard to take in some of the greenery, and of coursse use it as a backdrop […]
Another cloudy and foggy start to the day today. And again, the bulk of the fog stayed to the south of the Thames River, and didn’t come into play when I took my walk near Red Top in Ledyard, CT on the Providence & Worcester’s Norwich Branch. But I did […]

Talk about an action-packed lunch! I got a note last week from a railfan who lives in Maine, Joey Kelley, that he was heading down to Connecticut on a railfanning road trip. He was asking for some tips on what he should see, and also if there was a time […]
