Here’s a post I wrote to a Yahoogroup I participate in. The moderator asked for recollections of your first visit to the Northeast Corridor in words. Well, here’s what I had to say.

Well, today we were getting the remnants of some tropical depression, so it was quite rainy all day long. I skipped my normal morning walk in favor of a lunchtime jaunt to Old Saybrook to do some walking with a few flights of stairs thrown into the mix. Plus, looking […]
Well, my previous post on the stinky twins of Willimantic was in error. Aparently the New England Central moved the two cars from their location by Bridge Street down towards Willi Waste on Memorial Day weekend. They still exist…
Finally got around to processing the photos I took at the Lebanon Memorial Day parade on May 26, 2007. Everything from military and civilian fire engines, to school bands, to the Patriot Guard Riders, to Boy Scouts and even some goats – and of course plenty of red, white & […]
Well, not much on the railroading front lately. Been kinda busy at work and at home, but I did manage to get a bit of shooting in this weekend.

I got a nice little package in the mail last week from RI with a DVD in it – Gary of GZB Video Productions sent me a copy of P&W Action – Volume XI to check out. I finally got to watching it on Monday night during the commercial breaks […]
