So I managed to get out a few times last week – including one night jaunt shooting both the Providence & Worcester and New England Central (both sporting “foreign” power). Other stuff from the week was the P&W and NECR in daylight – including an ethanol move, along with a […]

Well, I can’t say the Lehigh Line here in northern New Jersey is dead. Ended up catching two trains before work this morning, and another five this evening – one of which was at two spots. Can’t complain about numbers like that…especially in comparison to what I’ve got to shoot […]
As some of you may know a unit ethanol train ran between North Dakota and Providence, RI, carried by a various number of railroads – the last two were the New England Central and the Providence & Worcester. Well, as the schedule worked out, the NECR and P&W sections were […]
So, as I had alluded to in my previous post, I had plans for Sunday evening. And those plans were to meet up with friend & fellow photographer Nick Palazini to do a little night shooting. We were going to continue our experiment of shooting two cameras at the same […]
Last week I was down in New Jersey again for work, and as has been my usual practice, the cameras and Lumedyne have come along for the ride. Instead of doing a post for each time I went out to shoot, I’m just going to roll everything up into one […]

Been down here in Florida for a few days now, but haven’t had a chance to head trackside. Tonight was the first time I was able to get out – and with the help of ATCS Monitor, I was able to catch a FEC freight in Boca Raton, FL. Only […]
