This past Saturday night, Bob LaMay and I braved the wind & rain, and headed up to Worcester for a little night photo session. Up there, we met up with a few other photographers, and proceeded to take a few shots before the rain really started to come down. And […]

And we continue on the catch-up trek. Now we’re up to the 28th of October when I had to head up to Weston, MA for an EMC conference. Of course, the camera bag came along, despite the crappy weather. But would I find any trains to shoot?
Playing a bit of catch-up here. These shots are from last week – the 15th and 16th, of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard, Groton and New London, and a tied down New England Central train NERWNE in South Windham.
On my way into my daughter’s gymnastics practice in Willimantic, I came across New England Central train NERWPA working the yard in Willimantic, preparing to head north to Palmer, MA. Of course, I grabbed the camera and took a few shots of the train around the Bridge Street area.

Well, the week is on the calendar. I’ve only got 3 times I went out shooting in that timeframe – September 11th, 16th and 19th. Anyways, two are of Providence & Worcester train NR-2, and the third was of a couple cars in Willimantic.

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 […]
Last weekend – July 26th to be precise – was the magazine Railroads Illustrated’s Day In North America feature. This is when the magazine picks one day and tells photographers to go out and shoot on that day. They then publish one issue with basically a cross-section of railroading on […]
