Phew, once again I’m running a bit behind…story of my life. But I did manage to get out a bit last week and grab a nice variety of moves – some pretty run of the mill, and a couple that were quite unique. Too bad the unique ones were a […]

Part two of my catchup posts involves some new angles I scouted out on Friday – one was in the morning on the New England Central, and two were in the afternoon on Amtrak’s Shore Line – one in Niantic, and one in Old Lyme.
Got a bit behind lately with the posts – but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t out shooting at all. Actually, it was less than usual, but here’s part one of two wrapping up the last week or so of stuff along the Thames River. This one covers April 30th to […]
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 […]

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 […]
No, I didn’t owe $20,000 on my taxes – they’ve been done for a while now (I’m one of those early guys that just gets it over with), but rather I got a chance to catch one train on the way into the office yesterday morning – Norfolk Southern train […]
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 […]
