Well, I finally caught some freight trains down here in Northern NJ – all of which were on Conrail’s Shared Assets lines around Bound Brook and Manville, NJ. Oh, yeah, and there were a couple NJ Transit trains thrown in the mix also to round out the first day of […]
Well, the work schedule down here is allowing me to get a bit of railfanning in. I would have been out yesterday, but something got in the way – a freaking flat tire! Yep, I got a flat on my way out of work yesterday, so I had to find […]
Well, I’m down here in New Jersey for work this week. Of course, my camera bag came along for the ride. Since today was a travel day, I did a bit of scouting around…well, with an agenda in mind. Nearby where I’m staying, there’s a GG-1 undergoing restoration. So that […]

Well, my schedule was quite packed yesterday, so I didn’t get out for my usual interception of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 on the Norwich Branch. But I did catch a Los Angeles class fast attack submarine heading back to the Sub Base in Groton on the way into work. […]
