Busy day in the photography department. Well, not that busy, but I did manage to catch two trains today – one on my usual walk, and the other after work in Willimantic. I also came across a coal barge heading north in the Thames River, bound for a powerplant in […]

I had the pleasure of riding with the crew of Connecticut Southern Railroad train CSO-4 on Saturday June 23, 2007. In addition to the friendly conversation, often times peppered with gut-wrenching laughter, I took a few photos. OK, it was more than a few – well over 700 in fact… […]
Holy crap it was hot today. But that didn’t keep me from my walk. I headed for Erickson Park in Ledyard today – I figured with the haze in the air, I’d take advantage of it and include it in some telephoto shots of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 across […]
Well, today was another quickie walk day due to my current task list at work (even though the plant is closing, we’re busy as all hell). So today I left a bit later than normal and aimed for bagging Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at the USS Nautilus Overlook Park […]
Well, I had today off from work, so with the sunny skies this morning, I figured I’d take advantage of it and redo my high angle shot of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 snaking along the Thames River with the Mohegan Sun casino in the background (here’s the original). Plus […]

Today I decided to keep things a bit more local, taking advantage of the recent clearing at the USS Nautilus Overlook Park in Groton. So I headed north a bit later than usual, since the drive was only a couple minutes.
I saw a sign along the road about a Military Vehicle show & swap meet the weekend Father’s Day. Well, I had a few extra hours on Saturday morning, so I headed over to the Hebron Fairgrounds to check things out. It was an event organized by the Connecticut Military […]
