Got a bit behind lately with the posts – but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t out shooting at all. Actually, it was less than usual, but here’s part one of two wrapping up the last week or so of stuff along the Thames River. This one covers April 30th to […]

Interesting day yesterday. Things started out kinda ho-hum, and I figured that I wouldn’t get a chance to head out – had a bunch of stuff at work to do, and what really iced the decision was the fact that Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was coming out of Plainfield […]
With the recent derailment in Willimantic of the last run of ethanol (see here and here), the next loaded train took a little bit of a longer route to its destination in Providence, RI. This time instead of heading from Willimantic to Plainfield over the Providence & Worcester’s Willimantic Branch, […]
Finally feeling better so I’m back to work, and starting to get back into the swing of things. I was actually back at work yesterday, but had to skip the sunny skies for playing catch-up for my time out sick. But this morning I had a couple meetings get rescheduled […]
Today I’m home sick (since Friday – yech), but I’m actually awake for the most part today. So while flipping through the channels, I came across a movie that sounded like it had something to do with railroading – Disaster on the Coastliner (IMDB info here). Curious, I left it […]

Busy evening last night and busy day today, so this is a little catch up from yesterday’s shooting. I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 under some different weather conditions. And throw into the mix Amtrak train 171 at the start of things. Oh, yeah, and like […]
Today was a dreary, foggy, drizzly Monday, and one that I thought I wouldn’t get a chance to head out. Well, some things this morning happened sooner than I th0ught, and some other things happened later, making the cosmic convergence possible. OK, not cosmic, but, well, you get my drift […]
Another sunny day today that I was able to take advantage of (tomorrow’s another story – got morning meetings). So keeping with my near avoidance of the Providence & Worcester’s Norwich Branch, I only got a couple shots of them in Fairview Yard, then headed over to Niantic to get […]
Think the title is kinda cryptic, eh? Pretty simple if you think about it – three trains and a submarine crossed by my lens on Tuesday morning. Oh, yeah, and for a change, the sun was shining!
