Last week on the first of November I managed to catch New England Central train NERWNE (or #608 going by the old symbol) at a couple spots in southeastern Connecticut – first was with their usual freight in the late morning through Uncasville, and another with some ethanol in the […]

OK folks, the latest edition of Trackside with TRAINS.com is up on their site, and the subject this time around is something near and dear to my heart – NIGHT! I submitted a shot from the CT Eastern RR Museum I took 4 years ago, and is probably my favorite […]
To conclude my trip home from New Jersey (first part is in this post) I had time to swing by the Valley Railroad and shoot their Halloween themed Fright Train again at dusk (my first attempt is here). But this time I decided to try something different for the two […]
Since I drove down to New Jersey this trip, I was able to shoot a little on my way back. I figured two easy stops were in order – both of which were very close to I-287. First was the Morristown & Erie shops in Morristown, NJ, and the second […]
