Now that we’re safely nestled into the new year I normally pick out some of my favorite shots from the previous year (2008 & 2007 for example) as a kind of retrospective look at what I shot over the past 365.25 days. This year I decided to narrow it down […]

We got back home from Florida early last week, but because of things around the house, I didn’t get out to shoot at all. This morning, though, I finally got a chance to head out, and bagged Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at a couple spots. I also got some […]
We’re back home in Connecticut now, but I managed to squeeze in one more FEC train on the way home. Actually, I have to credit my wife for spotting the train and suggesting we get a couple shots of it. How could I argue with her logic?
While down here in the Sunshine State, I’ve been talking with a few of the local FEC fans about the goings-on along the railroad. One of them, who lives up by Ft. Pierce, invited me up to check out the area, as well as an FEC 0-8-0 undergoing restoration. As […]

Another sunny, but cold morning today. Not quite as windy as it had been, but still pretty cold. And there’s still plenty of the white stuff on the ground to make things look all nice and pretty. So I had to get out this morning and see if I could […]
After our little snowfall yesterday (about 17″ at home), and the sun & clear blue skies of this morning, I figured I needed to head out and catch something along the Thames River. As things worked out, I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at a new […]
