Today I had a busy morning, so I couldn’t head out to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 like I usually do. But I did have to leave early to get to a doctor’s appointment – and the way to the doctor’s office takes me right through New London. I […]
Saturday night I attended the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum’s night shoot. This was the 4th year that they’ve done it, and as with the previous three times, I lent a hand and Steve Barry from Railfan & Railroad did the lighting. Things started out a little iffy with torrential downpours, […]
