Last night, on my way to my daughter’s gymnastics rehearsal, I came across a monster New England Central Railroad train NERWPA getting ready to head north out of Willimantic. So since the timing and lighting were right, I took a quick 2 minute detour to catch a couple shots of […]
OK, behind again in the posts. Got a few to catch up on – so here’s the first, which is from July 24th when I caught New England Central train NERWPA in Willimantic doing some switching in the yard.
