This past Wednesday I met up with a rail photographer from Cincinnati, Ohio who was visiting the area. He had contacted me a while back asking about the Providence & Worcester along the Thames River. So I offered to meet him and show him around. Wednesday was that day.

This morning I was able to get out for my walk, but things didn’t go exactly as planned. In fact, they were pretty much made up on the fly – the scanner was unusually quiet when Providence & Worcester train NR-2 was usually talking. So I took that as a […]
Yesterday I was running a little late in getting out of the house, so I didn’t get on the road at my usual time. But like usual, I had my scanner on during the 40+ mile commute to the office. That told me a couple things – first that New […]
And from today – the third day of 90 degree plus weather – a full fledged heat wave. And it was hot out there this morning! At least there wasn’t a thick overcast like yesterday – I had sun to work with! And a bit of conversation while waiting to […]

Finally, some summer-like weather is upon us, including bright blue sunny skies. This morning I was able to take advantage of the beautiful weather conditions on two different occasions – one on my way into work, and the other a bit later on. And The Hartford I’m talking about isn’t […]
