Quickie here – I finally got a chance to develop the last roll of film I shot, and scan a couple frames. Here’s one from my 8/30/07 report about P&W train NR-2 – a shot of the train crossing over the Thames River drawbridge back towards track 4 in Groton […]

Well, I found myself in the area of Westfield and West Springfield, MA this evening. Of course I had to stop off and do a little railfanning along the way. Ended up catching all of two trains, and some shut down power. But it’s better than nothing!
Well, I didn’t get a chance to get out for my walk today due to a busy day in the office. But I did manage to duck out over lunch for a bit to check things out from the New London side of the Thames River. No trains, but I […]
September has barely begun, and I’m already starting to see fall colors around southeastern Connecticut – even close to the shoreline, which traditionally has had a late color season. Maybe this year it’ll be early. Time will tell.
As you can see, I’ve updated the theme a bit. I kinda like it…it gives things a different feel. Let me know if you find any errors (dead links, screwed up layouts, etc.), or something you don’t like. I’ll do my best to fix it… Thanks! Tom

Ahhh, beautiful scenery, nearly perfect weather, and trains running at your will. No, this isn’t some elaborate layout, instead it’s the real thing – but this time the photographers were running around in the dark also. This past Saturday was the 2nd Annual Berskshire Scenic Railway Museum Night Photo Shoot […]
Phew. What a busy weekend, that did in fact include some railroad photography. First up is what happened last Thursday on my walk. I ended up taking Friday off to take care of some stuff around the house because I knew I had a busy weekend ahead of me. But […]
FYI, one of my photos from the first P&W coal train to Johnson City, NY back in 2005 is currently featured over on the Photographer’s Railroad Page as the September 1st edition, and will be there until 9/15. Feel free to poke around the archives too – there’s a ton […]
A bit behind again today. I did get out yesterday and shot Providence & Worcester train NR-2 up along Stoddard Cove in Ledyard, CT, as well as an unusual move over the Thames River drawbridge. I also did get out today and bagged NR-2 at Mill Cove, then shot some […]
