This past weekend was the 50th Lebanon Country Fair. As we do every year, we head down the road (literally) and do the usual fair things – eat some not-so-healthy food, walk around, let the kids play games and ride the rides, and take in the events. This year there […]

I had made plans with Nick Palazini to try and do a little shooting along PanAm Railway’s District 3 and 4 on Saturday night. Hopefully we would catch something along the way. Our plans started out as meeting up at East Deerfield and playing it by ear from there. Of […]
Today my wife called me at the office about doing something after work today with the kids. A friend of hers told her about a place out in Griswold, CT that literally acres and acres of sunflowers. I figured it would be a nice cap to the day, so she […]
Was able to get out a couple more times this week to catch P&W train NR-2 – yesterday while it was raining, and today when the sun was shining. Luckily yesterday, I got a heads-up from Nick Palazini who was chasing the train out of Plainfield with David Telesha so […]
I figured today would be a good one to take advantage of the blue skies and sunshine before the weather hit the shitter for the rest of the week. So I did my usual, and headed up to Erickson Park in Ledyard in hopes of catching Providence & Worcester train […]

Yesterday I spent the day in bed at home with a nasty, but thankfully short-lived, cold. When I got up, I wasn’t quite feeling up to par this morning, so I opted to head in a little late and get a little more sleep. As things ended up working out, […]
Finally, some summer-like weather is upon us, including bright blue sunny skies. This morning I was able to take advantage of the beautiful weather conditions on two different occasions – one on my way into work, and the other a bit later on. And The Hartford I’m talking about isn’t […]
Like I had talked about back on July 2nd, shooting the run-of-the-mill stuff shouldn’t be considered boring, because one day you might wake up and it’ll be gone. Well folks, it happened again. Those of you who have been up to the CSX yard at Selkirk, NY are probably familiar […]
