Phew, once again I’m running a bit behind…story of my life. But I did manage to get out a bit last week and grab a nice variety of moves – some pretty run of the mill, and a couple that were quite unique. Too bad the unique ones were a […]

On Sunday August 16th we took the kids on a little mystery ride to check out some horsepower – not the multiple thousands of horsepower that you regular readers are used to, but rather the unit of power those ratings are derived from. Yep, we’re talking about Equus ferus caballus […]
I never planned on heading out today, but when I looked outside this morning and saw sunshine and some blue sky, I had to take advantage of it. As luck would have it, I caught a train and then a little bonus on the way back to the office. Then […]
Well today was a bit busy at work, so I didn’t get a chance to head out at my normal time for my walk. It would have to wait until after lunch, and even then, it would have to be shorter than normal. I figured that, despite the harsh midday […]
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 […]

Scanned a couple more slides this evening. Here they are: Fire – A Guilford Mt. Tom coal extra makes it’s way south to the power station on a hot summer afternoon: [cpg_imagefixthumb:2653] Shot on Kodak Kodachrome 64 on August 2, 2003. And Ice – A panning shot of New England […]
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.
