Phew, once again I’m running a bit behind…story of my life. But I did manage to get out a bit last week and grab a nice variety of moves – some pretty run of the mill, and a couple that were quite unique. Too bad the unique ones were a […]

Part two of my catchup posts involves some new angles I scouted out on Friday – one was in the morning on the New England Central, and two were in the afternoon on Amtrak’s Shore Line – one in Niantic, and one in Old Lyme.
Interesting day yesterday. Things started out kinda ho-hum, and I figured that I wouldn’t get a chance to head out – had a bunch of stuff at work to do, and what really iced the decision was the fact that Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was coming out of Plainfield […]
So I managed to get out a few times last week – including one night jaunt shooting both the Providence & Worcester and New England Central (both sporting “foreign” power). Other stuff from the week was the P&W and NECR in daylight – including an ethanol move, along with a […]
Finally feeling better so I’m back to work, and starting to get back into the swing of things. I was actually back at work yesterday, but had to skip the sunny skies for playing catch-up for my time out sick. But this morning I had a couple meetings get rescheduled […]

I’ve been doing a bit of spring cleaning in the office here at home, and in the process I came across a stack of slides I needed to file back into the binders. Well, while doing that, I came across one slide that caught my eye – it was taken […]
Busy evening last night and busy day today, so this is a little catch up from yesterday’s shooting. I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 under some different weather conditions. And throw into the mix Amtrak train 171 at the start of things. Oh, yeah, and like […]
Today was a dreary, foggy, drizzly Monday, and one that I thought I wouldn’t get a chance to head out. Well, some things this morning happened sooner than I th0ught, and some other things happened later, making the cosmic convergence possible. OK, not cosmic, but, well, you get my drift […]
