OK, finally getting a chance to free up the logjam of pictures I’ve got here. This one goes back to September 16th when I was able to get out and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 along the Thames with Nick Palazini and Dave Blazejewski, who is down visiting his native Rhode Island from his now home of Alaska. And to cap things off, I caught a sub returning on my way to the office.
So Dave was down from Alaska to visit for a while, and Nick had asked if I’d like to meet up with them at some point. Always wanting to put faces with emails – Dave & I have corresponded over email before – I made sure I had a little time in my schedule to meet them and catch NR-2 in the process. Oh, yeah, if you’re curious, click here to see some of Dave’s work on Railpictures.net.
So we decided to meet up at Mill Cove in Ledyard after they bagged NR-2 leaving Plainfield. From there, we headed down to the bottom of Fairview Yard, then over to Groton tower. After that, I had to head back to the office, while the guys headed out to catch NR-3 coming south.
That’s the short version. Here’s the pictures from that morning. Oh, yeah, and like usual, I made Dave & Nick part of a few of my shots…sorry guys, I had to…

Nice shots, Tom!

If you ever decide you want to come up and photograph the ARR please look me up and I’l ensure you get the royal treatment!
