Finally feeling better so I’m back to work, and starting to get back into the swing of things. I was actually back at work yesterday, but had to skip the sunny skies for playing catch-up for my time out sick. But this morning I had a couple meetings get rescheduled […]
Providence & Worcester

Starting out a new month with the waters around the Thames receding from our recent bout with lots and lots of water – and a little luck as things panned out. Actually, I wasn’t exactly expecting to get out & shoot after hearing Amtrak had shut down all service between […]
Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to…well, I guess you could drink this if you really had to (apologies to Samuel Taylor Coleridge). If you’re anywhere along the eastern US coast, you’ve been subjected to days and days of rain. Well, all that rain, along with melting snow up […]
I sure don’t. The railroads run 24/7 in any weather – so why should they only be documented on sunny days? And with today’s deluge, I figured it was a good opportunity to show a little railroading in the crappy, dreary weather, while getting out for a bit.
Busy evening last night and busy day today, so this is a little catch up from yesterday’s shooting. I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 under some different weather conditions. And throw into the mix Amtrak train 171 at the start of things. Oh, yeah, and like […]

Another sunny day today that I was able to take advantage of (tomorrow’s another story – got morning meetings). So keeping with my near avoidance of the Providence & Worcester’s Norwich Branch, I only got a couple shots of them in Fairview Yard, then headed over to Niantic to get […]
Not much green today for St. Patrick’s Day – the plant life has yet to bloom around here, and, well, the P&W’s colors don’t involve any shade of green. How ’bout blue skies and some track the P&W hasn’t turned a wheel on all that many times in the past […]
Think the title is kinda cryptic, eh? Pretty simple if you think about it – three trains and a submarine crossed by my lens on Tuesday morning. Oh, yeah, and for a change, the sun was shining!
In the aftermath of the P&W derailment in South Windham last week, contractors had emptied out and rerailed the cars that came off the tracks. The three that ended up on their sides/tops, were placed on the spur track near Route 203 in South Windham. On my way up to […]
