Now that we’re safely nestled into the new year I normally pick out some of my favorite shots from the previous year (2008 & 2007 for example) as a kind of retrospective look at what I shot over the past 365.25 days. This year I decided to narrow it down […]
New England Central

OK, almost caught up. This is a quickie from last Thursday morning – another cold and blustery morning. This time, instead of the P&W, I caught the New England Central heading north through Montville.
With the pretty much fiasco of last Thursday night on my mind, I really wanted to “redeem myself” and get some decent shots without destroying any more of my gear. So on Friday I headed out to try and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2. Figured that was pretty safe […]
On the first day of December, I had a small hole in my daytime schedule to get out for a bit. But as sometimes happens, things don’t go as planned. As I usually plan on doing, I was going to bag Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard, and perhaps […]

This morning Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was running earlier that usual, so I decided to mix things up and shoot them somewhere different. While doing that I came across New England Central train NERWNE as well. Hey, two trains in a matter of minutes without even having to move […]
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 […]
