Yeah, once again I’m a bit behind on postings. Here’s some stuff from back on October 20th where I came across Providence & Worcester train NR-2, some railfans from New Jersey and Connecticut and a Virginia class fast attack submarine heading back to the US Navy Sub Base in Groton.
Well, I had to run into Willimantic last night to run a last minute errand. This was about 8pm, so usually the two New England Central jobs are in town working – one turn out of Palmer working the P&W interchange, and the south end switcher out of South Windham […]
Continuing on the catching up tasks – here’s some stuff from October 17th. I managed to catch not only Providence & Worcester train NR-2, but also a Virginia class fast attack submarine heading out to sea.
