Last week I had a chance to not only get out and shoot for a bit, but I also worked a nice 1.5 mile hike in as well. The only downside to that is I only got to shoot from one location. But that’s OK – I think things worked […]

The Providence & Worcester Railroad recently acquired three former Burlington Northern Santa Fe GE B40-8W locomotives. One of those – now numbered P&W 4005 – has recently received a new paint job, putting the former warbonnet into P&W chocolate and orange. And after one other trip down this way, I got a […]
The next installment of the backlog clearing is from the 26th of July, when I caught a pretty good sized Providence & Worcester train NR-2 at a couple spots along the Thames River. The only remarkable thing about this train – despite the length – is that the lead power […]
Between family commitments, a bout with a flu-like bug (putting me in bed for 4 days), and Hurricane Irene’s power outage (6 days for us), I’ve once again fallen a bit behind on the old Blog here. But never fear, it’s time to catch up on the posts. Granted, I […]
Way back on June 8th I was able to get out and shoot a bit in the morning. I intented to duck out and shoot Providence & Worcester train NR-2 along the Thames River. But as things worked out, I ended up catching two P&W jobs in the Groton/New London […]

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, […]
On the 17th of May I was able to get out for a few minutes to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 over lunch. It was a quick trip out, and I was only able to catch them at a couple spots. But while out, I noticed one of my […]
Going back a little bit for this post, filling in some of the gaps I didn’t manage to get out on the site. This was a quick trip I took one morning to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south through Groton, CT with some special power in the […]
On Friday the 13th I actually got a bit lucky. Not only did I catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard and Groton, but I also caught New England Central train 608 heading south with loaded ethanol, and was able to work a couple birds into the shots – […]
