You ever have “one of those days” before where things just didn’t go right from the start? Well, I had “one of those nights” last week. I found out that the Providence & Worcester would be running an NR-4X to Willimantic under cover of darkness on Thursday night, so I […]
This morning I had a bit of time in my schedule to get out for a bit. But it wasn’t the usual time – it had to be a bit later. So catching Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at some of the usual spots along the Thames River wasn’t in […]

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 […]
I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had too many opportunities to get out and shoot. So I figured to keep things going around here, I’ll post some shots from a trip a little while back – hey, the last post was nearly a week ago! About a month […]
