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.
