Down here on the south end of the New England Central Railroad, we’ve had a visitor from down south working on the Montville switcher job for the past week or so. One of the four Florida East Coast locomotives has been assigned the duties on train NERWNE recently. Last Friday […]

Continuing on the backlog here – but instead of what I would normally do and make one post for each “outing,” instead I’m putting together one massive post with a week’s full of shots in it. Basically taking care of pretty much the entire backlog in one fell swoop. In […]
July 2nd was a work holiday for us, starting out a four day weekend. I had some things to do in the morning, but with that stuff done, I headed out for a bit to shoot, taking advantage of the nice weather. Initially I had set my sights on shooting […]
Last Friday night the last cut of 40 ethanol cars made their way into Palmer, MA on the New England Central Railroad where a fresh crew picked them up for the trip south to New London, CT (for a look back at the previous 40 cars, click here and here). […]
