As things worked out today, I was able to get out a couple times – the second time being an on the fly, but pretty successful run. And both times I was able to explore some new angles – the first one was more of a tweak, but the second […]
Back on September 2nd, I got a call from Nick Palazini that Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was just heading through Jewett City, CT. And with a little hole in my schedule, and some beautiful blue skies, I figured a little trip was in order. I figured i’d be able […]
This morning I met up with Mike Biehn again, and we visited a couple different spots. I didn’t have much time, so we made the chase short, but I did give him a few more pointers on other nice shots around the area. Anyways, we caught Providence & Worcester train […]
