To go along with my last post (Last Month – A Week in NJ), here’s another larger monolithic post. A week in April I had to go to the Valley Forge/Collegeville, PA area for work, so as usual the cameras came along. Not as much time this trip to get […]

Last month I had to make a trip down to New Jersey for work again. And as I mentioned in my last post about an evening in Rensselaer, I’ve finally gotten around to posting the shots. So instead of doing each day as a single post, I’m going to lump […]
A little more than a month ago I was down in New Jersey again for work – a pretty uneventful week, with some photos taken (I’ll get ’em up here soon, I promise). On my second to last day there, I got an email from a friend about a special […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
