Yesterday I was able to get out for a bit to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in the morning – trying to take advantage of some of the last remaining fall color down in southeastern Connecticut. In addition to that, later in the evening I managed to catch a […]

I had to run a couple errands tonight in Willimantic, so on my way home, I swung by the New England Central base of operations here in southeastern Connecticut – South Windham. Of course, while there, I took a few pictures of a NECR train waiting for a fresh crew […]
Had to run out and do a couple errands in Willimantic tonight, so I threw the camera bag and Lumedyne bag in the car on the way out of the house. You never know what you’ll run into in Willimantic.
