Yes, this has to do with trains. The full circle part involves Providence & Worcester trains NR-2 and NR-3, as well as Amtrak Acela train 2159. The afternoon blur, well, you’ll just have to read on to see what I’m talking about with that one – it does involve New […]

What a day today – warm, bright sun and nice blue skies. So I had to take advantage of it, and I did end up catching a few trains. Caught two this morning – Providence & Worcester train NR-2, and Amtrak train 171 – and one this afternoon – New […]
Well, we’re back from Florida, and today I went back to work, ending my week & a half of vacation. But I couldn’t pass up the mostly blue skies on this Earth Day, so I headed out in hope of catching at least the Providence & Worcester rolling through Ledyard. […]
Busy day today – getting ready to head to Sea World for three days, then head home. So today was spent packing the bags, and packing the car. And of course my parents taking us out to breakfast & dinner. At one point, I had to run out when Jill […]
I took a ride out tonight after everyone was to bed, with my sights set on getting a shot of the last northbound TriRail commuter train of the night through Deerfield Beach station. I figured I should get some commuter trains while I’m down here. If you don’t know, TriRail […]

Another sunny morning here in southern Florida, and I of course had to take a trip to get a couple bagels up the road in Boca Raton. A quick peek at ATCS Monitor before leaving the house told me I had a northbound near Pompano, and at least one southbound […]
Well, quick one today. Jill & I went out for a bagel down at Einstein’s Bagels in Boca Raton, which just happens to be right next to the Florida East Coast’s main line. And on the way there, there’s an intermediate signal just past the Deerfield Beach/Boca town line. Well, […]
Got out this morning to do a little photography in southeastern Florida. I only caught one freight, but it was well worth it. And thanks to ATCS Monitor, it was a piece of cake getting into position to nab it.
OK, I’m going to keep this short & sweet – we’ve been in the car for the past 26 hours, and it’s late. Short version – I was able to catch my first Florida East Coast freight earlier this evening in the fading sunlight.
