Like usual, I’m a bit behind on postings. So I’ll take advantage of a little time over lunch to bang out the two posts waiting in the queue. First up is a quick chase of New England Central train NERWPA (the Willimantic to Palmer turn) between Eagleville, CT and Monson, […]

A little double entendre in today’s title. On President’s Day, we took advantage of my day off from work and took the girls up to Magic Wings in Deerfield, MA – something they’ve been asking to do since Katina got out of the hospital back in December. And as we […]
On January 31st, Bob LaMay and I made our annual trek to the Mystic Valley Railway Society’s 2010 Calendar Judging Luncheon up in Dedham, MA. Like each year before, we brought our cameras along and did a bit of railfanning before and after the luncheon. The only downside of the […]
After the first night of the Amherst Railway Society’s annual Train Show at the Big E in West Springfield, MA, I attended a gathering of friends and fellow rail photographers where we share some of our work over beers & pizza. After that was done, and it was time to […]

Today was my 39th birthday. So to celebrate, I took the day off from work. For the first part of the day I chased Providence & Worcester train NR-2 from Lisbon to Groton, CT. Then I went home for a while. Then I decided to head out again, this time […]
