This past Monday I had to take the day off for a midday doctor’s appointment. So I had a few hours to kill in the morning – why sleep when you can be out taking pictures! My intentions were to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 somewhere between Plainfield and […]

This past Sunday, my older daughter Katina had a birthday party to go do for a friend from school. So that left her younger sister Callie and I with an open afternoon to do what we wanted. I asked her if she’d like to go with me to photograph a […]
Today I had to bring my older daughter to the dentist, and then school, so I was going into work late. As it worked out, the Providence & Worcester ran another NR-4X to Willimantic today. So I figured I could take the scenic route into work and hopefully come across […]
This past Tuesday the Providence & Worcester ran an extra – NR-4X – from Plainfield to Willimantic.

Like usual, I’m a bit behind on postings. So I’ll take advantage of a little time over lunch to bang out the two posts waiting in the queue. First up is a quick chase of New England Central train NERWPA (the Willimantic to Palmer turn) between Eagleville, CT and Monson, […]
Yep, more night stuff, and like Saturday night, it was a last-minute decision to do. At the CERM meeting on Sunday night, one of the members mentioned that there was an NECR train tied down in the Willimantic yard. Well, I was kicking myself for not bringing my camera & […]
