To start off the month of June, I rode along with the Valley Railroad‘s Essex Clipper Dinner Train. But not as a passenger enjoying the on-board dinner with my wife, as we usually do every summer. Nope, instead I rode up in the head end with the engineer for the 2 1/2 hour ride from Essex to Haddam and back, enjoying the scenery along the Connecticut River valley. Well, and of course snapping a few pictures along the way.
Two days after my gallery exhibit opening at Essex (info here if you don’t know about it yet…), I climbed aboard the Valley Railroad’s 0900 in Essex to ride along with the Essex Clipper Dinner Train. While taking the 2 1/2 hour ride along the banks of the Connecticut River, I took quite a few photos – like usual, I was trying to mix it up a bit, with some inside the cab, and some outside. And of course, a huge thanks to the Valley Railroad and the crew of the Dinner Train for letting me tag along for the evening.
OK, enough words – here’s the photos, all 39 of them. As usual, check ’em out, and feel free to leave comments, either here on the blog, or over on Flickr on each individual photo.
