I actually got out of the house early this morning, so on the way in I was hoping to come across New England Central train 610 working around the Franklin area. Only catch was the weather was starting to go south, and there was limited light to work with. Well, […]
With the new schedule for the New England Central Railroad trains on the Palmer Subdivision south of Palmer, MA, getting a train working somewhere on the way into work has become more of a possibility.

Feeling a bit nostalgic tonight and with a headache that stopped thanks to oxycodone, so I fired up the slide scanner and scanned a few slides in. Here’s a glimpse back to some of what I was shooting in 2003 & 2004.
