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.

Despite this morning’s single digit temperatures, I decided to head out at my normal time to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 along Mill Cove in Ledyard, CT. I figured with the cold temps we’ve been having lately, the cove should have a nice coat of ice on it. Once […]
