I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 this morning on their way south through Ledyard, CT. Quite the contrast to yesterday’s gloomy reflections. Today sported a bright blue sky, accomponied by deep blue water on the Thames River and Mill Cove.

I was hoping I would be able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading south today – with the cloudy and foggy weather, I was aiming for a somewhat moody shot up at Mill Cove in Ledyard, CT. Unfortunatley, the fog had lifted, and the clouds started to thin […]
Well, I guess everything does happen for a reason. I couldn’t get out this morning to catch NR-2 heading south along the Norwich branch, so I figured I’d head out over lunch and try to catch them somewhere on the Northeast Corridor between New London and Old Saybrook. By the […]
I had originally wrote this piece for the railroad photography magazine CTC Board – Railroads Illustrated at the request of then editor Paul Schneider (CTC Board had since been sold to White River Productions, where it’s now called simply Railroads Illustrated ).

I was able to get out and catch two Providence & Worcester jobs today – NR-2 and NH-1. Caught NR-2 rolling past the USS Nautilus in Groton, CT, and later I got ’em swapping cars and power with NH-1 in Old Saybrook, CT at the Amtrak station.
With the March nor’easter bearing down on us, I made sure I got out to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 running through the falling snow – while it lasted. The forecasters were saying it would be changing to sleet/freezing rain sometime later today, so the morning would be the […]
