Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the whole thing about bragging…but I seemed to have read a saying somewhere that went something like, it ain’t braggin’ if you can do it. 😉 Well, this morning I got an email from the Railpictures.net staff notifying me that one of my photos got […]

Well, Friday the 13th turned out to be a fairly lucky day, in the realm of trains around these parts, that is. I was able to catch New England Central train #610 in Franklin, CT on my way into work, a Providence & Worcester hyrail in Ledyard on an inspection […]
I actually got out of the house early this morning, so on the way in I was hoping to come across New England Central train 610 working around the Franklin area. Only catch was the weather was starting to go south, and there was limited light to work with. Well, […]

Well, they just keep coming in. I guess that’s a good thing. I was asked to fill in another slideshow, this time for the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum‘s April members meeting. This will be on Sunday April 15th at 7pm and will be in the meeting rooms at Windham Memorial […]
Yeah, Mom said it’s never nice to brag, but here’s a little bit of news. I uploaded this picture to Railpictures.net yesterday (it’s here on Railpictures.net, if you’re curious to see the comments up there). First off, it got a Screener’s Choice award (thanks screeners!). But today it’s on the […]
Well, I took advantage of two things this morning – a hole in my schedule, and a short bout of sunny weather, sporting blue skies and Simpsons-esque puffy white clouds. The target this morning was Stoddard Cove at Stoddard Hill State Park in Ledyard, CT.
