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.

Last night I got word that something special was going to be on Providence & Worcester train NR-4 coming into Willimantic. So three photographers got together for an impromptu night shoot. But of course, as with everything that has to do with the railroad, things changed last minute. But we […]
Well, I got lucky last week. I decided to poke around eBay for some photo gear I’ve been looking for, and came across one auction that was pretty much everything I needed. When all was said and done, I ended up winning the auction. And today FedEx delivered the box […]

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.

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, […]
