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.

Finally got my photos from the speeder ride I took back on the 14th processed. It was a beautiful day weather wise, and that coupled with the great scenery along the New England Central Railroad’s Palmer Subdivision between Willimantic and New London, Connecticut and a bunch of really truly nice […]
Well, it looks like the stinky twins finally got scrapped over the weekend. My guess is it happened either on Friday or Saturday. Either way, there’s not much left of them. I just wish I caught them being scrapped – that would have made a pretty neat photo essay. Oh, […]
Two times in one day – not too bad. Got lucky this afternoon, and caught Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in New London as I was leaving work. Pretty good way to finish off the workday, and welcome in the long holiday weekend.
Well today was a bit busy at work, so I didn’t get a chance to head out at my normal time for my walk. It would have to wait until after lunch, and even then, it would have to be shorter than normal. I figured that, despite the harsh midday […]

For today’s walk, I decided to stay a bit further south, and hit Red Top at about MP4 on the Providence & Worcester’s Norwich Branch. As it turns out, this was a pretty good decision – I not only was able to catch P&W train NR-2 heading south with quite […]

Finally, some sun! The gloom of the past week or so has lifed, giving us a nice bright cloudless morning. So I took advantage of it, and took my walk in the Stoddard Hill area of Ledyard, and opted for a shot of Providence & Worcester train NR-2 coming south […]
Well, today’s walk brought me to Erickson Park in Ledyard, hoping to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south along the swolen Thames River somewhere mid-walk, and before the nasty looking skies above opened up. No such luck in the train department, but I did catch the New England […]
