Well, today started out as a typical Monday – got out of the house a touch late, and didn’t realize until I was walking into my building that I had left my laptop at home – 40 minutes away. So I went in, checked messages – I’ve got a desktop […]

Well, today started out to be a typical gloomy Monday. Slept through my alarm this morning, so I was a touch late into work. The weather was lousy, and my morning meeting went longer than normal. So I ended up getting out of the office for my fresh air walk […]
I had to bring my truck’s brake drums to the machine shop today to get turned, so I swung through downtown Willimantic to check out what was going on. New England Central train 608 was working the Willimantic Waste/CC Lonsbury area – well out of easy photo range. So I […]

Well, I took the day off from work yesterday (March 5, 2007) to photograph the historic first revenue run over the formerly dormant Providence & Worcester Willimantic Branch between Versailles and Willimantic, CT. Fellow rail photographer Bob LaMay joined me for the chase from Plainfield to Willimantic, and back to […]
Well, we decided to pile the kids in the car and go for a drive since it was a nice day. As luck would have it, we found ourselves heading northbound on Route 32 heading for the CT/MA line – right where we’d find New England Central trains 608 and […]
