Back in NJ again for a couple days. Yesterday I mixed things up a bit – no NJ Transit stuff at all, but I did catch some Norfolk Southern, Morristown & Erie, as well as the elusive Lehigh Valley Rail Management switchers. Yep, for those of you who are paying […]

Now that I’m back home, I decided to take advantage of a hole in my schedule and get out to shoot Providence & Worcester train NR-2 somewhere in Ledyard. As things turned out, not only did I catch them, but it was an interesting train – at least for this […]
Had to jet down to New Jersey again for work Wednesday & Thursday. I did manage to get out once Thursday morning on the way in to shoot some trains. Hoping for some NS action, I headed for the Manville/Bound Brook area. Well, things didn’t go exactly as planned, but […]
I was out at the Railroad Museum of New England in Thomaston, CT a couple weeks ago – May 3rd to be specific – photographing a Boy Scout camporee event put together by Otto Vondrak (yep, the same guy that put together the photo charter on the Catskill Mountain Railroad […]

On the way home from the airport, something caught my eye in Waterford – some work going on at the trestle over the inlet to Smith Cove. So I stopped and grabbed a couple shots despite the crappy weather.
Had to go on yet another business trip last week, so I took the G9 along. Short version – here’s a few shots from the trip from Groton, CT to Morristown, NJ and back. Both days were kinda hazy, so the shots aren’t exactly the greatest, but hey, at least […]
Despite the crappy weather, I headed out for a bit today to try and catch some rail action along the Thames River. I did end up catching Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard, but I also caught a couple other different things. First was, as you can see to […]
