I guess I’m quite a bit behind again. So to catch things up, I’m just going to do a few posts that’ll bunch things together. For the first of the house-clearing posts, here’s a few shots from the end of November. Actually, it’s not everything from the end of November – it’ll […]

Yep, once again I’m running a bit behind on blog posts. But trust me, I’ve been out there shooting, so you’re in for a flood of photos pretty soon – including plenty of Valley Railroad North Pole Express trains in the dark, a trip out to Thomaston, CT to ride […]
A couple weeks back on my way into work, I noticed a freighter sitting at the New London State Pier getting ready to unload. I figured it was worth a shot to try and get out and get a few shots of the ship a little later that morning – […]
The next edition of Trackside with TRAINS.com is up on the magazine’s website. This time around the theme was “Industrial Scene” – something I don’t have much material on at this point. So I dug through the archives and grabbed a shot of a loaded Johnson City bound coal train […]
Last Monday I had to head out for lunch, and as things worked out I managed to catch a couple Providence & Worcester trains. Not that the first was really planned out, but the second was caught completely by chance.
On the 12th of November, I only planned on heading out one time to shoot – to catch a Providence & Worcester NR-2X carrying 80 empty ethanol cars. But I really couldn’t pass up the second time – it was something that begged to have a photo taken of it.
OK, time to start clearing out the backlog. For this post we’re going back to Veteran’s Day 2010 when I happened to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 returning to and working in Fairview Yard. And while they were working, a pretty rare thing happened – yeah, the thumbnail pretty […]
On Tuesday the 9th, unfortunately New England Central train 610 put some loaded ethanol cars on the ground in Willimantic yard. With a sick daughter home from school, and Jill working, I couldn’t get out to photograph it. But later in the evening I did get a chance to head out and […]
Last Friday another 40 loaded ethanol tanks made their way south out of Willimantic towards New London on the New England Central Railroad. I managed to get a few shots of them in Montville and New London. The only thing is you’d never know whose railroad it was judging by […]
Monday night, New England Central train NERWNE brought 40 loads of ethanol south out of Willimantic. But instead of bringing them all the way to New London, they tied up in Montville for the night. So first thing in the morning they took the train of moonshine south to New […]
