This past Wednesday I met up with a rail photographer from Cincinnati, Ohio who was visiting the area. He had contacted me a while back asking about the Providence & Worcester along the Thames River. So I offered to meet him and show him around. Wednesday was that day.

This morning I was able to get out for my walk, but things didn’t go exactly as planned. In fact, they were pretty much made up on the fly – the scanner was unusually quiet when Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was usually talking. So I took that as a […]
And from today – the third day of 90 degree plus weather – a full fledged heat wave. And it was hot out there this morning! At least there wasn’t a thick overcast like yesterday – I had sun to work with! And a bit of conversation while waiting to […]
Was able to get out a couple more times this week to catch P&W train NR-2 – yesterday while it was raining, and today when the sun was shining. Luckily yesterday, I got a heads-up from Nick Palazini who was chasing the train out of Plainfield with David Telesha so […]

So this morning I had a bit of time in my schedule to head out and take advantage of the nice weather and go for a walk. I decided on trying to get up to a spot a bit north and hopefully catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 along the […]
