I got word early this morning that an Amtrak passenger extra was heading up the New England Central Railroad’s Palmer Subdivision. Amtrak on the NECR may not sound unusual, since part of the Vermonter’s route is on the NECR. But the unusual part is that Amtrak hasn’t been south of […]

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.
Had to go on yet another business trip last week, so I took the G9 along. Short version – here’s a few shots from the trip from Groton, CT to Morristown, NJ and back. Both days were kinda hazy, so the shots aren’t exactly the greatest, but hey, at least […]

I was hemming and hawing about going out this morning. When I went out to get a coffee, I was convinced – bright blue skies were pouring through the skylights in the building. So instead of the coffee, I headed for the car. Hopefully I could catch something because it […]
On my flight back from Morristown, NJ to Groton, CT I had my G9 with me. So I snapped a bunch of photos along the way – from the taxiway in NJ, to approach to Groton. They came out OK – it was quite turbulent, even the image stabilizer in […]
Yep, the weather did a 180 today. Started out crappy with heavy overcast, and by the time I got out of work and headed for the airport, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. The schedule worked out so I could get a few shots in both before and after […]
I’m back down here in New Jersey again for work, so of course the camera kit came along with me. After I finished up at the office today, I headed for Bound Brook to see if I could catch any action. For a while, the only thing I could hear […]
