OK, two of three – this time it took place at Stoddard Cove in Ledyard, and the usual suspect of Providence & Worcester train NR-2. But because of the magic of technology, I was able to get two angles of the train at pretty much the same time – basically […]

On the catching up road again. Part one of three is from this past Monday the 16th – the short version is this – I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at Mill Cove in Ledyard and crossing the Thames River.
Yep, more night stuff, and like Saturday night, it was a last-minute decision to do. At the CERM meeting on Sunday night, one of the members mentioned that there was an NECR train tied down in the Willimantic yard. Well, I was kicking myself for not bringing my camera & […]
On Saturday I got an email from Nick Palazini informing me that the power from a Providence & Worcester ethanol extra was outlawed in Valley Falls, RI, and sitting on the Blackstone River bridge. Along with that information came an invite for me and my Lumedyne to come out and […]
Sure, I’ve been out of school for a while, and apparently I’ve forgotten some of my lessons. Blog reader Bob Hassett informed me of the error in my ways at the CERM meeting last night. Since I only have two daughters, the way I have referred to them in some […]
Just a quick note that I’ll be putting on a slideshow at the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum‘s monthly member meeting this coming Sunday. The meeting is open to anyone – CERM member or non-member, so feel free to drop by if you can. I haven’t finalized the show, but at […]
Took advantage of the sunshine this morning, hoping to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 on my walk. This time I decided to mix things up a bit, and head a little further north to Stoddard Hill Park on the north side of Ledyard. Well, things didn’t go as planned, […]
OK, last one to catch up on! This was after the snowstorm – which lasted from Sunday night until Monday night (don’t ask about pictures during the storm – that was a fiasco!). And the sun was shining bright on Tuesday, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to catch […]
More catching up. Back on March 1st, we had a nice little snowstorm that dumped about 10″ of the white stuff on us. As it was kicking off on Sunday night, I headed out to see how shooting in the snow with the Lumedyne would work out. My target was […]
Now that things are settling down after our recent loss, I’ve got a few things to catch up on here. Here’s the first one – from back on February 24th. Caught a couple trains, along with a northbound barge headed for Dow Chemical up in Gales Ferry.
