A little play on words – it’s the Western Good Friday today, and I had a good Friday with the camera, bagging two trains and a Virginia class submarine returning to the Sub Base, all under crystal clear blue skies.
First up was the New England Central. I was able to catch the Montville job heading north through Uncasville and Fort Shantok on the Mohegan Reservation.

I was able to catch them at the tidal pool near milepost 7 in Ledyard (also with a pair of napping swans), and then again at the USS Nautilus in Groton.

Thanks for looking!
