Going a bit out of order with today’s post. On October 19, 2011 the member railroads of the Green Mountain Gateway – Canadian Pacific, Vermont Rail System, New England Central and Providence & Worcester – ran an office car special between Rutland, VT and Worcester, MA. The train, carrying VIPs […]

Over the past seven years, the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum in Willimantic has hosted a number of photographers from around the northeastern region for a night shoot. This year was no different – both in the fact that the night shoot happened, but also that the event was very well […]
Looking at the list of photos on the web gallery here – something struck me as odd. I had no photos posted from the month of August. So I fired up Lightroom to see what I shot in the eighth month of the year, and much to my surprise, I […]
This past Monday started out with a pretty heavy fog hanging over most of the Thames River valley in southeast – making for some nice photo possibilities. But by the time Providence & Worcester train NR-2 made their way south, the fog usually lifts and is out of the picture, so […]
No, there’s no rockets involved here – I stayed on terra firma. But I did go to a place called The Outer Space in Hamden, CT. Good friend Steve Rodgers (of Mighty Purple fame) recently opened a bar in Hamden next door to his live music/coffee house The Space, and […]

My final outing on my New Jersey business trip (part one – part two) brought me once again into the Keystone State. But this time things didn’t go as smoothly, train wise. But overall, I think it worked out rather well, despite not catching a single train moving in my […]
On the second day of my New Jersey work trip, I got out a couple times to shoot – first at sunrise, and then after sunset. The shots at sunrise were in the Garden State, and the ones in the dark were 60 some odd miles to the west in […]
Once again I had to make a work trip to New Jersey the week of September 12th, and I did manage to get a little shooting in while I was there – both day and night (yes, the Lumedynes came along for the ride as well). The first day, before […]
