As things worked out yesterday, I was able to get out and take advantage of the abundant sunshine that graced southeastern Connecticut in the morning. Not only was the weather beautiful, but I was also able to catch two trains on two different railroads within a matter of minutes. And […]

Another nice blue sky day today, one I had to take advantage of. So I headed out for my walk this morning, hoping to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard. I did bag them, along with a couple things floating on the water – one with NR-2, and […]
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 […]
On the catching up road again. Part one of three is from this past Monday the 16th – the short version is this – I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at Mill Cove in Ledyard and crossing the Thames River.
Now that things are settling down after our recent loss, I’ve got a few things to catch up on here. Here’s the first one – from back on February 24th. Caught a couple trains, along with a northbound barge headed for Dow Chemical up in Gales Ferry.
