OK, still chipping away at the backlog. Three more posts including this one before the Thames River drawbridge swap. So without further adieu, here’s one from June 19th – I was able to catch New England Central train NERWNE, Providence & Worcester train NR-2, Amtrak trains 171 (regional) and 2150 […]

I had to go into work late today for a doctor’s appointment, so I swung by to check out the Thames River drawbridge, and of course play with the new 40D. Then after I got home, I had to go into Willimantic to get something at the hardware store, and […]
Damn it’s hot…I managed to get a few shots in yesterday – I had to come in late to work (kids were sick), and I bagged a sub leaving for sea, as well as a heavy crane that was brought in to remove the counterweight on the existing bascule span […]
After the long Memorial Day weekend (I’ll have photos from the Lebanon, CT Memorial Day Parade sometime in the next few days if you’re interested), and having meetings all last week, I finally got out last Thursday to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 somewhere in Ledyard. The weather was […]

Yes, this has to do with trains. The full circle part involves Providence & Worcester trains NR-2 and NR-3, as well as Amtrak Acela train 2159. The afternoon blur, well, you’ll just have to read on to see what I’m talking about with that one – it does involve New […]
OK, catching up a bit here. I made it out on Tuesday for a bit – not only to catch some train action, but to also put my new high end point & shoot through it’s paces. I picked up a Canon G9 mainly for quick shots of the kids, […]

Well, my schedule was quite packed yesterday, so I didn’t get out for my usual interception of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 on the Norwich Branch. But I did catch a Los Angeles class fast attack submarine heading back to the Sub Base in Groton on the way into work. […]
