Last Friday was a pretty good day, photographically speaking. I ended up taking the day off from work for a couple reasons – first, later in the evening I was putting on a presentation about the railroads along the Thames River for the Northeast Prototype Modeler’s Meet out in Collinsville, […]

Back on May 18th, I met up with a few other fans at the Old Saybrook Amtrak station over lunch for a little shooting & conversation. Despite the cloudy weather (which never really bothered me), it was a good lunch hour of shooting from the station platforms. And of course, […]
On the 17th of May I was able to get out for a few minutes to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 over lunch. It was a quick trip out, and I was only able to catch them at a couple spots. But while out, I noticed one of my […]
Going back a little bit for this post, filling in some of the gaps I didn’t manage to get out on the site. This was a quick trip I took one morning to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south through Groton, CT with some special power in the […]

Check off another one from the backlog – this time from the sixth of May. Getting closer to this week! Another quick one with a couple stops, but both spots I shot at gave up some really nice reflections of the passing train!
Getting closer to being caught up – this post has shots from Cinco de Mayo, where I managed to get out for a brief amount of time and shoot Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in New London. Nothing spectacular, but I did get a shot of an Amtrak tamper sitting […]
Continuing on the backlog clearing spree, we’ve made it into May. The first stuff I shot in May was pretty run of the mill stuff – consisting of Providence & Worcester NR-2 at Mill Cove in Ledyard, and the USS Nautilus and through Fairview yard in Groton. Nothing earth-shattering, but […]
