Now that we’re safely nestled into the new year I normally pick out some of my favorite shots from the previous year (2008 & 2007 for example) as a kind of retrospective look at what I shot over the past 365.25 days. This year I decided to narrow it down […]

We’re back home in Connecticut now, but I managed to squeeze in one more FEC train on the way home. Actually, I have to credit my wife for spotting the train and suggesting we get a couple shots of it. How could I argue with her logic?
While down here in the Sunshine State, I’ve been talking with a few of the local FEC fans about the goings-on along the railroad. One of them, who lives up by Ft. Pierce, invited me up to check out the area, as well as an FEC 0-8-0 undergoing restoration. As […]
Later on New Year’s Day I figured I could head out and catch the northbound FEC Extra job (train #240) out of Miami as they rolled through the area. So after putting the kids to bed, I checked out ATCS Monitor to check on 240’s progress north. After a little […]
We have a ritual when we’re down here at my parent’s place in Florida – we make a morning trip to Einstein Bagels in Boca Raton, FL. This fine New Year’s Eve morning, we left the kids with my parents and went out in search of trains after the bagel […]

Quite the day today turned out to be. It started out under sunny blue skies, with some changing foliage along the Thames River, and ended in the dark, with some more of that nice New England color. But that ending also had a piece of Florida in the picture – […]
And we continue on the catch-up trek. Now we’re up to the 28th of October when I had to head up to Weston, MA for an EMC conference. Of course, the camera bag came along, despite the crappy weather. But would I find any trains to shoot?
Today was my 39th birthday. So to celebrate, I took the day off from work. For the first part of the day I chased Providence & Worcester train NR-2 from Lisbon to Groton, CT. Then I went home for a while. Then I decided to head out again, this time […]
