A few days late, but the newest Trackside with TRAINS is out. This time around the subject is “Pushin’ Hard” and I selected a shot of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 from back in 2008. That day, they had to stop at the Sub Base north gate to get permission […]

Another February post coming up. For this one a part for a new Virginia class fast attack submarine was coming down on Providence & Worcester train NR-2. In between a couple meetings, I was able to catch it coming south along the P&W’s Norwich Branch in Ledyard and Groton. The […]
Boy have things been hectic. Now that I’ve got a couple minutes, I figured I’d post up a few shots from back in February of the New England Central in Willimantic. Nothing earth-shattering, but still at least it’s something for you to check out.
The newest edition of TRAINS magazine’s online contest – Trackside with TRAINS – is now live! This edition’s theme was “trees” and I picked a shot of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 framed by the trees of Goss Cove in Groton, CT. And for those of you who aren’t familiar […]
On February 10th the Providence & Worcester Railroad ran something rather unique through Connecticut and Massachusetts – a snow plow. The P&W leased a Russel plow from the Green Mountain Railroad in Vermont to clear some of the snowfall that had plagued southern New England this winter. And I used […]
OK, I know, I’m behind on my posts. But I’m making it a point to catch up (thanks Rich!) and get up to date – trust me, the silence here doesn’t mean I haven’t been out shooting. To the contrary, I’ve actually been able to get out a surprising number […]
Holy crap does time fly when you’re doing nothing but shoveling snow. Yep, we’ve been inundated with snow the past month or so here in the Northeast, and I have next to no photos to show for it! But I did manage to get out a few times to shoot. So instead […]
Starting in the end of November and all through December I managed to get down to Essex and shoot the Valley Railroad’s North Pole Express trains a number of times. With the early winter sunsets, all of these trains ran under cover of darkness, which gave me an opportunity to […]
Back on the 18th of December (yes, I’m still clearing the backlog from last year) Jill, the girls & I headed west to Thomaston, CT to ride the Railroad Museum of New England’s Northern Lights Limited. It was suggested by a RMNE volunteer (thanks HP) that we make the trek […]
Next up is a chunk of photos from the first half of December, which include Amtrak, Providence & Worcester, ethanol, a Sperry Rail Car, a couple C-130s and a pair of fast attack submarines – a Virginia and Los Angeles class. Nice variety for the first half of the month. […]
