Monday night, New England Central train NERWNE brought 40 loads of ethanol south out of Willimantic. But instead of bringing them all the way to New London, they tied up in Montville for the night. So first thing in the morning they took the train of moonshine south to New […]
Last week on the first of November I managed to catch New England Central train NERWNE (or #608 going by the old symbol) at a couple spots in southeastern Connecticut – first was with their usual freight in the late morning through Uncasville, and another with some ethanol in the […]

Back on the 14th I managed to get out and catch a couple Providence & Worcester trains – NR2 and the empty ethanol K667. The color was just starting to change down in southeastern Connecticut, and I managed to get some of that color into a couple shots. I also […]
