And we continue on with the 2012 photo recap, with this post moving onto the second quarter of 2012. During this three month span the subjects ranged from the usual railroad photos, to submarines, a new bridge, a locomotive shop and a two-day photo charter. So does that mean I’ll […]
The Providence & Worcester Railroad recently acquired three former Burlington Northern Santa Fe GE B40-8W locomotives. One of those – now numbered P&W 4005 – has recently received a new paint job, putting the former warbonnet into P&W chocolate and orange. And after one other trip down this way, I got a […]
A couple weeks back on my way into work, I noticed a freighter sitting at the New London State Pier getting ready to unload. I figured it was worth a shot to try and get out and get a few shots of the ship a little later that morning – […]

Think the title is kinda cryptic, eh? Pretty simple if you think about it – three trains and a submarine crossed by my lens on Tuesday morning. Oh, yeah, and for a change, the sun was shining!
OK, it’s Friday night, so I guess I can catch up. I managed to get out a few times this past week to shoot a bit. The weather was decent down here in southeastern Connecticut, so I took advantage of that. This one is from this past Wednesday where I […]
