On a foggy April 26th I got a call from a friend that Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was southbound out of Plainfield with a short train. With a hole in my schedule, I figured it was worthwhile to head out and catch them at Stoddard Hill in Ledyard, CT. […]

Going back a bit in time here – starting to catch up on past photos that haven’t made it to the site yet. This set is from back on April 21, 2011 of Providence & Worcester train K667 – a unit empty ethanol train – as they made their way […]
And now for part II of my Railfan & Railroad’s Spring TRAINing review – the night photo session (part I, covering the daytime stuff, is here if you’re curious). As most of you may know, I’ve done quite a bit of shooting at night, both individually and as a part […]
On April 30, 2011 Railfan & Railroad magazine held their first annual Spring TRAINing event at Steamtown in Scranton, PA. The event was two parts – the first was a series of multimedia slideshows during the day, and the second was a night photo shoot using some of Steamtown’s equipment. […]

In the immortal words of John Cleese – And now for something completely different. OK, not really completely different – I have shot this sport before. But it’s something that I don’t get out all that often to shoot – Cowboy Mounted Shooting. A couple weeks ago Jill, the girls […]
Almost a month ago I was out and about on a sunny Saturday. Jill and the girls were out at a birthday party, and I was running errands around Willimantic. But when the scanner lit up on the NECR channel, plans started to change. But not entirely right away…
A few days late, but the newest Trackside with TRAINS is out. This time around the subject is “Pushin’ Hard” and I selected a shot of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 from back in 2008. That day, they had to stop at the Sub Base north gate to get permission […]
