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 […]

And here’s Part II from October 23rd. In Part I, I chased a pair of P&W jobs with Nick Palazini. Well, later that day, the weather changed to a very nice & sunny afternoon. Since I was picking up my oldest daughter from the bus, and we had a few […]
One more from the backlog before I have to head to work. Here’s some stuff from the 21st – short version is this, an Acela and Providence & Worcester train NR-2 along a short length of the Amtrak Shore Line.
Sometimes getting up late is a good thing. Today fell into that category. I slept through my alarm, and got out about an hour later than usual this morning. On my way south to Groton, I had the scanner on, listening to the P&W frequency (I shut off the NECR […]

Well, as usual, I got out for my walk this morning and headed for the close-by Erickson Park in Ledyard. Unlike yesterday, I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south as I wrapped up my walk. The timing worked out so that I was able to […]
