Well, for today’s walk I decided to head back up to the MP7 area in Ledyard, stretching my legs, as well as shooting Providence & Worcester train NR-2. The weather was warm, but there was a thin veil of high clouds, and a stiff breeze, so the reflection shots off […]

With temperatures in the mid 60s, and sunny blue skies, I couldn’t pass up a walk today. So I headed for Erickson Park in Ledyard again, as usual, with full intentions of not only doing my laps around the park, but also shooting Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south […]
On Friday, I got the go-ahead from my wife to break away and go out on the first day of fishing season. But I wasn’t going fishing, instead I would be shooting photos of trains for a few hours on Saturday morning. Initially I decided to head up to CSX […]
Finally, some sun! The gloom of the past week or so has lifed, giving us a nice bright cloudless morning. So I took advantage of it, and took my walk in the Stoddard Hill area of Ledyard, and opted for a shot of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 coming south […]

I actually got out of the house early this morning, so on the way in I was hoping to come across New England Central train 610 working around the Franklin area. Only catch was the weather was starting to go south, and there was limited light to work with. Well, […]
With the new schedule for the New England Central Railroad trains on the Palmer Subdivision south of Palmer, MA, getting a train working somewhere on the way into work has become more of a possibility. This morning, while heading into Franklin, CT, the scanner came alive with the conversation between […]
