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.

Yesterday, despite the rain, I was able to get out to fit in a walk, and of course catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 in Ledyard. At least this time of year some of the trees are in bloom. Too bad it was too early to celebrate Cinco de Mayo […]
Found a few minutes in my schedule this morning to get out, so I decided to explore my new spot south of the USS Nautilus – this time with both the telephoto and wide angle rigs. Hopefully I could also time it with Providence & Worcester train NR-2’s arrival into […]
As things worked out yesterday, I was able to get out and take advantage of the abundant sunshine that graced southeastern Connecticut in the morning. Not only was the weather beautiful, but I was also able to catch two trains on two different railroads within a matter of minutes. And […]
