In the spirit of the holiday season, I’ve decided to do something a bit different. I’ve put together a poster featuring one of my night shots of the Valley Railroad’s newest addition to their roster – former Knox & Kane Chinese built SY 2-8-2, now dressed up to look like […]

Just a quick note – be sure to pick up the January 2012 issue of Railfan and Railroad magazine. I’ve got a four page feature on the Providence & Worcester Railroad in the issue. In addition to that, they’ve put together a small gallery of P&W shots that didn’t make […]
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. I know I have plenty to be thankful for – most of all my family. And this year’s Thanksgiving is a bit more special – it’s also my daughter Katina’s 9th birthday! On the blog side of things – I […]
Continuing with the “passenger extra on the Providence & Worcester Railroad” theme (see yesterday’s post), I managed to photograph the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts’ Fall Circle Tour which runs on the P&W every mid-October. The train makes a big circle through southeastern New England – starting in Worcester, MA, continuing […]
Going a bit out of order with today’s post. On October 19, 2011 the member railroads of the Green Mountain Gateway – Canadian Pacific, Vermont Rail System, New England Central and Providence & Worcester – ran an office car special between Rutland, VT and Worcester, MA. The train, carrying VIPs […]

This past Monday started out with a pretty heavy fog hanging over most of the Thames River valley in southeast – making for some nice photo possibilities. But by the time Providence & Worcester train NR-2 made their way south, the fog usually lifts and is out of the picture, so […]
No, there’s no rockets involved here – I stayed on terra firma. But I did go to a place called The Outer Space in Hamden, CT. Good friend Steve Rodgers (of Mighty Purple fame) recently opened a bar in Hamden next door to his live music/coffee house The Space, and […]
Last week I had a chance to not only get out and shoot for a bit, but I also worked a nice 1.5 mile hike in as well. The only downside to that is I only got to shoot from one location. But that’s OK – I think things worked […]
