Last Friday after dinner, we decided to take the girls out for a little treat. So as we sometimes do, we headed into Willimantic to visit our local Dairy Queen. Going there involves crossing the New England Central tracks, which is also where the Providence & Worcester now interchanges with […]

Yep, you’re seeing things correctly – that would be the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile sitting in Norwich, CT on Thursday evening. I noticed it on my way to watch my daughters at gymnastics, and of course I had to stop and get some pictures. And on the way back from gymnastics, […]
OK, continuing to catch up on last week’s shots, here’s part one from Thursday. I was able to get out for a bit and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south. It was a quickie – not much time to do any kind of shooting, so it was a […]
