A couple weeks ago, good friend and fellow photographer Bob LaMay and I took a ride out to the Metro North Croton-Harmon shops for their annual open house. With some time limitations on both of our parts, we planned our day out, instead of using the usual “wing-it” scheduling I’m […]
Playing a bit of catch-up here. These shots are from last week – the 15th and 16th, of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard, Groton and New London, and a tied down New England Central train NERWNE in South Windham.
Last Friday I had to take my wife’s nephew and his friend down to Toad’s Place in New Haven for a concert. 36 Crazyfists, Trivium and All That Remains were playing. So as usual, I brought my camera along. But I left the wide angle lenses in the bag, and […]

Last night I got word that something special was going to be on Providence & Worcester train NR-4 coming into Willimantic. So three photographers got together for an impromptu night shoot. But of course, as with everything that has to do with the railroad, things changed last minute. But we […]
