Interesting day yesterday. Things started out kinda ho-hum, and I figured that I wouldn’t get a chance to head out – had a bunch of stuff at work to do, and what really iced the decision was the fact that Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was coming out of Plainfield […]

Kind of a hectic day today, but I managed to get out for a short spell this morning. Of course, things didn’t go exactly as planned – no Providence & Worcester action, but I did manage to get the New England Central across the river as they headed north through […]
With the recent derailment in Willimantic of the last run of ethanol (see here and here), the next loaded train took a little bit of a longer route to its destination in Providence, RI. This time instead of heading from Willimantic to Plainfield over the Providence & Worcester’s Willimantic Branch, […]
So I managed to get out a few times last week – including one night jaunt shooting both the Providence & Worcester and New England Central (both sporting “foreign” power). Other stuff from the week was the P&W and NECR in daylight – including an ethanol move, along with a […]
Last night Jill & I had a rare night out – the kids were at a sleepover at their cousin’s house, and we took advantage of that and headed into Arch Street Tavern in Hartford to check out the reunion show of a friend’s band – The Screwdrivers. So here’s […]

Well, I can’t say the Lehigh Line here in northern New Jersey is dead. Ended up catching two trains before work this morning, and another five this evening – one of which was at two spots. Can’t complain about numbers like that…especially in comparison to what I’ve got to shoot […]
Down here in NJ again this week, and after I got out of the office yesterday, I headed down to Bound Brook station for a little shooting. I figured it would be a nice and easy evening of shooting and enjoying the passing trains. I really didn’t feel like driving […]
Finally feeling better so I’m back to work, and starting to get back into the swing of things. I was actually back at work yesterday, but had to skip the sunny skies for playing catch-up for my time out sick. But this morning I had a couple meetings get rescheduled […]
I was out sick again today, and there wasn’t much on TV, so no movie reviews tonight. But since I’m feeling better tonight, I decided to scan through some of my “reject” folders of slides. I, unlike some other photographers, rarely throw away slides – I keep everything (unless it’s […]
