While I was taking photos on the G&U last month (previous post is here), I took one shot to contrast a shot I took back in October (that post is here). Here’s a pretty neat side-by-side, before & after look at G&U 1751’s short hood. The first one I took […]

Oops, I missed a bunch of photos from January in my one big post from a little while back. On January 22, Bob LaMay and I made our annual trip up to the Mystic Valley Railway Society’s calendar judging luncheon. And as usual, we did a little railfanning along the […]
The next edition of Trackside with TRAINS is up on the TRAINS magazine website! This time around the subject was Close Clearance, and I submitted a shot of the Grafton & Upton RR switching out Washington Mills in North Grafton, MA, where the buildings are quite close to the tracks. […]
On Saturday November 6th we decided to take a ride to nowhere – no plans, no objective, just the four of us and a full tank of gas. We figured we’d head northwest – the weather was supposed to be nicer out that way. But even if it wasn’t we’d […]

Last Friday night the last cut of 40 ethanol cars made their way into Palmer, MA on the New England Central Railroad where a fresh crew picked them up for the trip south to New London, CT (for a look back at the previous 40 cars, click here and here). […]
I was out sick again today, and there wasn’t much on TV, so no movie reviews tonight. But since I’m feeling better tonight, I decided to scan through some of my “reject” folders of slides. I, unlike some other photographers, rarely throw away slides – I keep everything (unless it’s […]
So, as I had alluded to in my previous post, I had plans for Sunday evening. And those plans were to meet up with friend & fellow photographer Nick Palazini to do a little night shooting. We were going to continue our experiment of shooting two cameras at the same […]
