Well, today started out to be a typical gloomy Monday. Slept through my alarm this morning, so I was a touch late into work. The weather was lousy, and my morning meeting went longer than normal. So I ended up getting out of the office for my fresh air walk […]

Due to some scheduling constraints, I couldn’t get out at my usual time to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 on their southbound trip. So since I needed to head to the bank at lunch, I kept the scanner on to see if I could get lucky & catch NR-2 […]
A sunny day can’t go without pictures (yeah, neither can a cloudy, rainy, foggy or snowy day either, but you get my drift), so I headed out to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 this morning at one of my usual spots. So once I left, I fired up my […]
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 […]

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 ). It appeared soon after I wrote it in […]
I took a half day from work to watch the kids (my wife had an appointment), so on the way home I ran into Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading north through Norwich, CT.
The timing was on today aparently because I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 twice – once in the morning and once over lunch – with only a few moment’s notice. This morning was on the Ledyard/Preston town line at Poquetanuck Cove, and this afternoon was at […]
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.
