Quite literally for years I’ve been hoping to get an across the Thames River meet between the Providence & Worcester and New England Central Railroads. Yesterday, that meet was missed by only about a minute or so. So close, and yet so far… But that’s OK, I got to take […]

No, I’m not talking about the Guns ‘N Roses song, nor the cheap-screw-cap wine the song is about. I’m talking about New England Central train NERWPA under cover of darkness. Well, darkness followed up by a couple 1/800 of a second flashes of light.
