I was able to get out and catch two Providence & Worcester jobs today – NR-2 and NH-1. Caught NR-2 rolling past the USS Nautilus in Groton, CT, and later I got ’em swapping cars and power with NH-1 in Old Saybrook, CT at the Amtrak station.

I had to bring my truck’s brake drums to the machine shop today to get turned, so I swung through downtown Willimantic to check out what was going on. New England Central train 608 was working the Willimantic Waste/CC Lonsbury area – well out of easy photo range. So I […]
Well, because of the crappy weather today, I was able to leave work early and head home. Down in Groton, the snow was starting to change to sleet, and I really didn’t want to hang around to watch it change to freezing rain. So I got out around 1pm and […]
With the March nor’easter bearing down on us, I made sure I got out to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 running through the falling snow – while it lasted. The forecasters were saying it would be changing to sleet/freezing rain sometime later today, so the morning would be the […]
Despite the foggy, rainy weather, I headed out this morning to catch Providecne & Worcester train NR-2 on it’s way south along the Thames River. By the time I was able to head out, the train was already within 10 minutes of the Sub Base. So I decided to head […]
Well, I had to head into work late this morning because the kids were sick. Once everyone was situated at home, I headed out the door. Having a route to work that encounters three railroads does have it’s advantages. Today, I’d get to shoot two of those roads on the […]

Well, this morning was rather sunny, so I headed out for a quick rendezvous with Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard. I tried to get a bit of a different view of the cove from the south this time around.
I couldn’t pass up a beautiful morning, so I ducked out for a few minutes to try to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2. This time I headed a bit further north to the overlook on Poquetanuck Cove on the Ledyard/Preston town line. Not a bad view, and some sweet […]
Feeling a bit nostalgic tonight and with a headache that stopped thanks to oxycodone, so I fired up the slide scanner and scanned a few slides in. Here’s a glimpse back to some of what I was shooting in 2003 & 2004.
