With the new job, my time has been much more limited than it has been in the past, so I don’t get out to shoot as much. But that also has a benefit – when I get behind in my postings, I don’t have that big of a backlog! Here’s […]

Yet again, I’m a bit behind in the postings. This one goes back to December 5th where I got out to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 between the USS Nautilus in Groton, and Shaw’s Cove in New London. Also along the way, an Acela came into the picture, along […]
After work tonight, I stuck around the Groton area to photograph the conjunction of three solar system bodies – the Moon, Jupiter and Venus – in the evening sky. Luckily the clouds cooperated again and I was able to get some decent shots of the trio in the sky.
I was able to get out for a bit this first day of December, and things fell into place on the timing of things. Not only was I able to catch NR-2, but also the skies cleared up, bathing the train in some pretty nice morning sunshine.
Well, now that I rebuilt my Lumedyne battery (not only rebuilt it, but also increased its capacity by 50% over the factory rating), I figured a full-scale test would be in order. So I decided to head down to Essex, CT and shoot the Valley Railroad’s equipment after dark. I […]

The day after my last trip to NJ, I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 under some blue skies. The only problem was that I was only able to catch them at the USS Nautilus. But that’s not really a bad thing…
Had to go to New Jersey again for work last week, and as usual the camera came along for the ride. With the time change, and the fact that I’m kinda bored shooting from the platforms, I decided to do some different shots.
I had to run an errand in Willimantic tonight, so I was hoping to catch at least the two New England Central jobs in town. On the way in, I could hear NECR 608 working in the south end of the yard, but no sign of 610, or Providence & […]
