OK, catching up a bit here. I made it out on Tuesday for a bit – not only to catch some train action, but to also put my new high end point & shoot through it’s paces. I picked up a Canon G9 mainly for quick shots of the kids, […]

OK, to contrast Friday’s rainy day on the rails, the weather cooperated on Saturday. I attended a photo charter on the Catskill Mountain Railroad in Kingston, New York. The railroad recently reactivated, with the help of a virtual army of volunteers, about a mile long section of track within Kingston. […]
On rainy days, quite a few rail photographers would rather not leave the house instead of getting out and shooting. Well, I’m not one of them – the railroads run in all weather, and I shoot in all weather. This past Friday (April 4th) was no different – the only […]
Last day of my odd work schedule, so I was glad to have some sunlight and blue skies to work with this morning. What was even better was that I bagged 3 trains under those blue skies – the New England Central, Providence & Worcester and Amtrak. And something kinda […]
More crappy weather today, but that didn’t stop me from trying to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 somewhere around Norwich, CT this morning. Hey, I’ve only got 2 more tries before I go back to my usual work schedule. Same plan as yesterday – head north on Route 12 […]

Well, I’m in an online training class the first part of the week, so I’m tied to the office for the day. But luckily the class is on Pacific time, which is shifting my schedule at the office. With that shift, I now have a few hours in the morning […]
On Sunday, I took the family north to Magic Wings in Deerfield to marvel at the butterflies. The girls haven’t been there in a while, and it was a nice sunny day, so why not make the 2 hour trek north? Plus, as most of you know, Magic Wings is […]
I had to go into Willimantic after work today, so I was hoping to catch New England Central train 610 somewhere between South Windham and Willimantic, taking advantage of the extra daylight. As luck would have it, I got into town as 610 was doing their final brake test, preparing […]
Finally back home after a couple work trips. So this morning, I tried to head out and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 somewhere. Plus it’s been a while since I was able to shoot the good old P&W. So I did a few things when I got in, and […]
