Well, as I was leaving Bethlehem, PA Monday night, I was hoping that the clear skies would hold into Tuesday morning. When I got up and peered out the window at the pre-dawn light, I was greeted with a solid overcast. Damn. So I went back to bed for a […]
Back in NJ again for a couple days. Yesterday I mixed things up a bit – no NJ Transit stuff at all, but I did catch some Norfolk Southern, Morristown & Erie, as well as the elusive Lehigh Valley Rail Management switchers. Yep, for those of you who are paying […]
Now that I’m back home, I decided to take advantage of a hole in my schedule and get out to shoot Providence & Worcester train NR-2 somewhere in Ledyard. As things turned out, not only did I catch them, but it was an interesting train – at least for this […]
Had to jet down to New Jersey again for work Wednesday & Thursday. I did manage to get out once Thursday morning on the way in to shoot some trains. Hoping for some NS action, I headed for the Manville/Bound Brook area. Well, things didn’t go exactly as planned, but […]

On the way home from work, I caught New England Central train 610…oh, wait, no it’s now known as NECR train NERWNE NE (New England Central Railroad) R (Road Freight) W (Willimantic) [to] NE (New London). Apparently RailAmerica is standardizing all of their train symbols across all their railroads. Yeah, […]
Well, back to normal on Friday. Spent the first 4 days of the week at an offsite department meeting (yes, a 4 day meeting…at least it was in Atlantic City), so I was really jonseing for some train action. So despite the pouring rain, I headed out to try and […]
On the way home from the airport, something caught my eye in Waterford – some work going on at the trestle over the inlet to Smith Cove. So I stopped and grabbed a couple shots despite the crappy weather.
