It’s that time of year again – calendar time! I haven’t done this in a few years, so I decided to give it a whirl for 2010. I’ve created a 12 month calendar featuring some of my recent night photography around Connecticut and Massachusetts – including both museum and commercial […]

Tonight I had to head into Willimantic to run an errand, but like the other night, I got a little sidetracked (pun intended) as I crossed over Bridge Street by the New England Central.
Quite literally for years I’ve been hoping to get an across the Thames River meet between the Providence & Worcester and New England Central Railroads. Yesterday, that meet was missed by only about a minute or so. So close, and yet so far… But that’s OK, I got to take […]
No, I’m not talking about the Guns ‘N Roses song, nor the cheap-screw-cap wine the song is about. I’m talking about New England Central train NERWPA under cover of darkness. Well, darkness followed up by a couple 1/800 of a second flashes of light.
Today things calmed down a bit, and I was able to head out for a nice walk, and of course I took advantage of the sunny skies and killed some pixels along the way. The way things worked out, I was able to catch New England Central train NERWNE heading […]

Yesterday I managed to get out for a bit and take advantage of the bright blue skies and warm weather down here in southeastern Connecticut. And as things worked out, I got out for a little bit over lunch because of some unforeseen circumstances at work. When all was said […]
Yesterday I headed down to the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum to check out the damage for myself (see this post for details on the vandalism). Also, as I found out last minute there was a blacksmithing demonstration also occurring – so that would put a nice positive spin on things. […]
This morning Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was running earlier that usual, so I decided to mix things up and shoot them somewhere different. While doing that I came across New England Central train NERWNE as well. Hey, two trains in a matter of minutes without even having to move […]
Yesterday I was able to make it out a couple times – once at the usual morning time, and once over the lunch hour. The morning was some typical Providence & Worcester action, and at lunchtime I happened across an eastbound Acela under some interesting skies.
