Yep, it’s been a while since the last post. Busy time of year, between work and family, and Christmas and New Years it’s just been constant running around. But I did manage to kick off the New Year, photographically speaking, early this morning down by the Lebanon Green in frigid […]

In the spirit of the holiday season, I’ve decided to do something a bit different. I’ve put together a poster featuring one of my night shots of the Valley Railroad’s newest addition to their roster – former Knox & Kane Chinese built SY 2-8-2, now dressed up to look like […]
Over the past seven years, the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum in Willimantic has hosted a number of photographers from around the northeastern region for a night shoot. This year was no different – both in the fact that the night shoot happened, but also that the event was very well […]
Last Friday was a pretty good day, photographically speaking. I ended up taking the day off from work for a couple reasons – first, later in the evening I was putting on a presentation about the railroads along the Thames River for the Northeast Prototype Modeler’s Meet out in Collinsville, […]
As most of you know the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum in Willimantic, CT does an annual night photo shoot, which usually occurs in late September. But the night came alive in Willimantic on May 14th – well before the usual time for the shoot. That Saturday night, the museum hosted […]

Starting in the end of November and all through December I managed to get down to Essex and shoot the Valley Railroad’s North Pole Express trains a number of times. With the early winter sunsets, all of these trains ran under cover of darkness, which gave me an opportunity to […]
Back on the 18th of December (yes, I’m still clearing the backlog from last year) Jill, the girls & I headed west to Thomaston, CT to ride the Railroad Museum of New England’s Northern Lights Limited. It was suggested by a RMNE volunteer (thanks HP) that we make the trek […]
Next up is a chunk of photos from the first half of December, which include Amtrak, Providence & Worcester, ethanol, a Sperry Rail Car, a couple C-130s and a pair of fast attack submarines – a Virginia and Los Angeles class. Nice variety for the first half of the month. […]
On Tuesday the 9th, unfortunately New England Central train 610 put some loaded ethanol cars on the ground in Willimantic yard. With a sick daughter home from school, and Jill working, I couldn’t get out to photograph it. But later in the evening I did get a chance to head out and […]
