Going a bit out of order with today’s post. On October 19, 2011 the member railroads of the Green Mountain Gateway – Canadian Pacific, Vermont Rail System, New England Central and Providence & Worcester – ran an office car special between Rutland, VT and Worcester, MA. The train, carrying VIPs […]
Looking at the list of photos on the web gallery here – something struck me as odd. I had no photos posted from the month of August. So I fired up Lightroom to see what I shot in the eighth month of the year, and much to my surprise, I […]
Well, here’s another batch of photos I never posted. Actually, it was for good reason – it involves a bit of personal injury (both to my body and ego), flying cameras, as well as the temporary loss of my glasses. But the important thing is this – despite risking life […]
