Another February post coming up. For this one a part for a new Virginia class fast attack submarine was coming down on Providence & Worcester train NR-2. In between a couple meetings, I was able to catch it coming south along the P&W’s Norwich Branch in Ledyard and Groton. The […]

Boy have things been hectic. Now that I’ve got a couple minutes, I figured I’d post up a few shots from back in February of the New England Central in Willimantic. Nothing earth-shattering, but still at least it’s something for you to check out.
The newest edition of TRAINS magazine’s online contest – Trackside with TRAINS – is now live! This edition’s theme was “trees” and I picked a shot of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 framed by the trees of Goss Cove in Groton, CT. And for those of you who aren’t familiar […]
On February 10th the Providence & Worcester Railroad ran something rather unique through Connecticut and Massachusetts – a snow plow. The P&W leased a Russel plow from the Green Mountain Railroad in Vermont to clear some of the snowfall that had plagued southern New England this winter. And I used […]
Back on February the 8th I had to go down to New Jersey for the day (training class at work). So to avoid traffic, I hung around the area for a bit and headed north around 5:30ish, avoiding much of the traffic in the northern Garden State. Since I only […]

Oops, I missed a bunch of photos from January in my one big post from a little while back. On January 22, Bob LaMay and I made our annual trip up to the Mystic Valley Railway Society’s calendar judging luncheon. And as usual, we did a little railfanning along the […]
Yeah, I know things have been a bit slow around here of late – trust me, I’ve got stuff to get through and post, and you won’t be disappointed when I do! Some of the usual stuff, along with a more unusual move or two. But in the meantime the […]
Holy crap does time fly when you’re doing nothing but shoveling snow. Yep, we’ve been inundated with snow the past month or so here in the Northeast, and I have next to no photos to show for it! But I did manage to get out a few times to shoot. So instead […]
