Two times in one day – not too bad. Got lucky this afternoon, and caught Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in New London as I was leaving work. Pretty good way to finish off the workday, and welcome in the long holiday weekend.
I let the domain registration for railfanzone.com, my original railfan site, lapse and one of those domain name extortion companies (aka a holding company) scoffed it up out from under me. Oh, well, my bad but unfortunatley it’s gone. If I get a chance, I’ll put it up as a […]
I’m sure you’re asking yourselves “What on earth is he talking about now?” Well, read on and you’ll get your answer. I headed to Erickson Park in Ledyard, CT again for my walk this morning, and did end up bagging NR-2 rolling southbound on this rather warm Friday morning before […]

Well, I was in an all-day meeting/workshop today, so I had to forego my walk alltogether. Oh, well, I guess I can miss one day here & there. I’ve got an active weekend planned, so I’m sure I’ll make up for it. But after work, I figured I’d head to […]
