On the 6th of October I got some information from a friend “in the know” about a couple nighttime ethanol moves on the New England Central around Willimantic, CT. So after my wife & I put the kids to bed, I headed out to see what I could shoot. With […]

On the morning of September 11th, I asked my daughters if they’d like to come out with me to shoot an ethanol train (OK, I didn’t say “ethanol” since they’re 5 and 7, and have no idea what ethanol is). The older one said “naw, I want to stay with […]
On the day after my birthday, September 10th, I headed out in the morning for a bit to shoot a little, despite the cloudy weather. But as usual, I never let the weather conditions discourage me from shooting, and in fact, I think it helped in one case.
I decided to take the week of Labor Day off from work, and that week coincidentally also contained my birthday (it was the 20th anniversary of my 21st birthday – doesn’t make me feel as old saying it that way). And on that day, after Jill & I put the kids on […]

Down here on the south end of the New England Central Railroad, we’ve had a visitor from down south working on the Montville switcher job for the past week or so. One of the four Florida East Coast locomotives has been assigned the duties on train NERWNE recently. Last Friday […]
Continuing on the backlog here – but instead of what I would normally do and make one post for each “outing,” instead I’m putting together one massive post with a week’s full of shots in it. Basically taking care of pretty much the entire backlog in one fell swoop. In […]
Yep, it sure has been over two weeks since my last post. But don’t fret, I’ve been out shooting over that period of time. Granted, not as much as I would have liked, but I have been out there killing pixels. Here’s a quickie from a little while back on […]
On Saturday July 10th, there were a number of Independence Day fireworks displays planned, including New London and my hometown of Lebanon. Since we usually go to the hometown show, New London was out for us this year. So that would also mean I’d miss shooting the New England Central […]
