Today was a gorgeous day, so I couldn’t pass up my walk. Since the car was on empty, I decided to stay close to the office, and do my walk around Mill Cove in Ledyard, CT. As I pulled into the parking area of Erickson Park, the Providence & Worcester […]
Talk about an action-packed lunch! I got a note last week from a railfan who lives in Maine, Joey Kelley, that he was heading down to Connecticut on a railfanning road trip. He was asking for some tips on what he should see, and also if there was a time […]
Well, I had to come into work late today – the kids had a dentist appointment – so there was no time for my usual walk. Plus it was raining this morning – not exactly ideal walking conditions. But on my way over after the appointment (the girls did great […]
