Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. I know I have plenty to be thankful for – most of all my family. And this year’s Thanksgiving is a bit more special – it’s also my daughter Katina’s 9th birthday! On the blog side of things – I […]

Continuing with the “passenger extra on the Providence & Worcester Railroad” theme (see yesterday’s post), I managed to photograph the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts’ Fall Circle Tour which runs on the P&W every mid-October. The train makes a big circle through southeastern New England – starting in Worcester, MA, continuing […]
Going a bit out of order with today’s post. On October 19, 2011 the member railroads of the Green Mountain Gateway – Canadian Pacific, Vermont Rail System, New England Central and Providence & Worcester – ran an office car special between Rutland, VT and Worcester, MA. The train, carrying VIPs […]
Over the past seven years, the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum in Willimantic has hosted a number of photographers from around the northeastern region for a night shoot. This year was no different – both in the fact that the night shoot happened, but also that the event was very well […]

One of those – now numbered P&W 4005 – has recently received a new paint job, putting the former warbonnet into P&W chocolate and orange. And after one other trip down this way, I got a […]
My final outing on my New Jersey business trip (part one – part two) brought me once again into the Keystone State. But this time things didn’t go as smoothly, train wise. But overall, I think it worked out rather well, despite not catching a single train moving in my […]
On the second day of my New Jersey work trip, I got out a couple times to shoot – first at sunrise, and then after sunset. The shots at sunrise were in the Garden State, and the ones in the dark were 60 some odd miles to the west in […]
