Well, on Wednesday I needed to move money between a couple of my bank accounts. Unfortunatley those two banks are physically seperated, and I can’t electronically move the money between them. So I had to head out, go to the first bank then head over to the 2nd bank. Of […]

Well, today’s walk brought me to Erickson Park in Ledyard, hoping to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south along the swolen Thames River somewhere mid-walk, and before the nasty looking skies above opened up. No such luck in the train department, but I did catch the New England […]
Well, Friday the 13th turned out to be a fairly lucky day, in the realm of trains around these parts, that is. I was able to catch New England Central train #610 in Franklin, CT on my way into work, a Providence & Worcester hyrail in Ledyard on an inspection […]
I actually got out of the house early this morning, so on the way in I was hoping to come across New England Central train 610 working around the Franklin area. Only catch was the weather was starting to go south, and there was limited light to work with. Well, […]

Well, today started out as a typical Monday – got out of the house a touch late, and didn’t realize until I was walking into my building that I had left my laptop at home – 40 minutes away. So I went in, checked messages – I’ve got a desktop […]
Today was another late start for me trying to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading into Groton. As I was driving north, the radio was somewhat silent – no aparent sign of NR-2 anywhere…until I turned onto Fairview Ave, and crossed over the bridge spanning the south end of […]
Well, I took advantage of two things this morning – a hole in my schedule, and a short bout of sunny weather, sporting blue skies and Simpsons-esque puffy white clouds. The target this morning was Stoddard Cove at Stoddard Hill State Park in Ledyard, CT.
What month are we in again? Seems like March is hanging on with some gloomy, raw and rainy days this week. Today wasn’t an exception with low clouds, cold damp winds and rain. But the morning did find me trackside to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 along the Thames […]
